Actually, for 2.6 kernels you shouldn't do a xfs_freeze before doing a snapshot - this will result in a deadlocked snapshot, since the freeze holds locks the snapshot code needs. In 2.6, the DM snapshot code knows how to do an xfs_freeze-equivalent call from within the kernel. We didn't find a clean way to resolve that issue yet, Christoph is looking into it though. cheers. -- Nathan _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
