Hi, in the last days I played around with Kernel 2.6.9, LVM2, and multiple snapshots of the Logical Volume leading to some system freezes. The Volume Group is setup on top of a mirrored device (md). I decided to switch to kernel 2.6.11-rc1 with Device Mapper patches 2.6.10-udm1 (without patch 29) and test again. What I did was: 1. created a 2 GByte LV (lv_test) with XFS and mounted the filesystem. 2. Wrote some data to lv_test. 3. Created snapshot using lvcreate -L 200M -p r -n lv_snap_01 /dev/vg00/lv_test 4. Mounted lv_snap_01 (read only, no uuid) 5. Removed some files and wrote some data to lv_test 6. Created snapshot lv_snap_02 and mounted it (read only, no uuid) 7. Repeated step 5 and created snapshot lv_snap_03 8. Wrote some data (about 30 MByte) to lv_test 9. While kcopyd(?) was running I tried to remove lv_snap_01: lvremove -f /dev/vg00/lv_snap_01 The lvremove instruction terminated with Segmentation fault and I received the following kernel messages on console: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at drivers/md/kcopyd.c:145! invalid operand: 0000 [#1] Modules linked in: nfs lockd sunrpc autofs4 8250 serial_core md5 ipv6 uhci_hcd usbcore 3c59x mii unix CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<c0281989>] Not tainted VLI EFLAGS: 00010287 (2.6.11-rc1-udm1) EIP is at client_free_pages+0x39/0x50 eax: 00000100 ebx: d1b6eb20 ecx: d9ad1820 edx: 00000000 esi: e19a4040 edi: 00000000 ebp: cec0defc esp: cec0def4 ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process lvremove (pid: 1926, threadinfo=cec0c000 task=d98e4060) Stack: d1b6eb20 d1b6eb20 cec0df0c c028237f d1b6eb20 da370b60 cec0df24 c0282db4 d1b6eb20 d1b6ed40 e19a4040 d98cac20 cec0df40 c027c846 e19a4040 00000000 dd529940 e085b000 00000004 cec0df54 c027e81d d98cac20 00000000 c0373fa0 Call Trace: [<c010325f>] show_stack+0x7f/0xa0 [<c01033fa>] show_registers+0x15a/0x1c0 [<c01035ce>] die+0xce/0x150 [<c0103a69>] do_invalid_op+0xb9/0xd0 [<c0102eeb>] error_code+0x2b/0x30 [<c028237f>] kcopyd_client_destroy+0x1f/0x38 [<c0282db4>] snapshot_dtr+0x74/0x90 [<c027c846>] table_destroy+0xa6/0xc0 [<c027e81d>] __hash_remove+0x5d/0x80 [<c027f040>] dev_remove+0x50/0xd0 [<c028066e>] ctl_ioctl+0xde/0x140 [<c015ed05>] sys_ioctl+0xa5/0x220 [<c01024d7>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb Code: 0c 39 43 10 75 25 8b 43 08 89 04 24 e8 51 ff ff ff c7 43 08 00 00 00 00 c7 43 0c 00 00 00 00 c7 43 10 00 00 00 00 8b 5d fc c9 c3 <0f> 0b 91 00 6c f4 2f c0 eb d1 8d b6 00 00 00 00 8d bc 27 00 00 <1>Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address e19a74b0 printing eip: c0283fae *pde = 0152e067 *pte = 00000000 Oops: 0002 [#2] Modules linked in: nfs lockd sunrpc autofs4 8250 serial_core md5 ipv6 uhci_hcd usbcore 3c59x mii unix CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<c0283fae>] Not tainted VLI EFLAGS: 00010282 (2.6.11-rc1-udm1) EIP is at write_exception+0x2e/0x50 eax: 000064a6 ebx: d94e9ebc ecx: e19a74b0 edx: 00000000 esi: 00000000 edi: cedb73bc ebp: d94e9ea8 esp: d94e9e9c ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process kcopyd (pid: 1749, threadinfo=d94e8000 task=da066590) Stack: d4360da0 0000014b d4360da0 d94e9ed8 c02842c5 d4360da0 0000014b d94e9ebc 000064a6 00000000 0000505b 00000000 cedba944 00000000 cedb73bc d94e9ef0 c0283122 da370bac cedb73bc c02830d0 cedb73bc d94e9f18 c0281b10 00000000 Call Trace: [<c010325f>] show_stack+0x7f/0xa0 [<c01033fa>] show_registers+0x15a/0x1c0 [<c01035ce>] die+0xce/0x150 [<c0111fdb>] do_page_fault+0x31b/0x66f [<c0102eeb>] error_code+0x2b/0x30 [<c02842c5>] persistent_commit+0x45/0x100 [<c0283122>] copy_callback+0x42/0x50 [<c0281b10>] run_complete_job+0x60/0x70 [<c0281d14>] process_jobs+0x44/0xb0 [<c0281d9a>] do_work+0x1a/0x50 [<c0125513>] worker_thread+0x183/0x220 [<c0128f5a>] kthread+0xaa/0xb0 [<c0100881>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0x14 Code: 83 ec 0c 8b 45 0c 89 5d fc 8b 5d 10 89 44 24 04 8b 45 08 89 04 24 e8 72 ff ff ff 89 c1 b8 ea ff ff ff 85 c9 74 18 8b 03 8b 53 04 <89> 01 89 51 04 8b 43 08 8b 53 0c 89 41 08 31 c0 89 51 0c 8b 5d Looks likes a bug...
