I posted about a working snapshot test script for LVM1 / 2.4 kernel / XFS. It has not yet been tested with the 2.6 kernel at all, and I know nothing about LVM2. I was looking for feedback about obvious changes to the syntax between LVM1 and LVM2. Do they even use the same command names? Your statement about xfs_freeze being a problem may be true and if so would be the first known (to me) incompatibility in the script. Nathan, is there a bugzilla about xfs_freeze causing problems witht he 2.6 kernel?
