Hi, I'm trying to use the snapshots as indicated in the LVM HOWTO. I use LVM2. But I seem to get EXT to claim recovery each time I lvcreate the backup.. Please understand I'm newbie to LVM.. My syslog gives something like : EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem ... kernel: EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem. ... kernel: EXT3-fs: write access will be enabled during recovery. ... kernel: kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds ... kernel: EXT3-fs: recovery complete. ... kernel: EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. I'm using : 2.4.28 kernel , linux-2.4.26-rc1-devmapper-ioctl.patch, 1.00.18 device mapper , 2.00.25 LVM2. I saw some messages about this in may 2004 but cannot understand if I'm supposed to apply other patches or so.. Please note this is to be used in production environment, so unstable patches cannot be applied... Please help if possible..
