Hi, I'm creating a backup script for a database using lvm snapshots. The script ran fine for a few test runs, then I added xfs_freeze -f just before the lvcreate command, as per HOWTO recipe. Now lvcreate went into deep-sleep and wont wake up: update:~/bin# ps ax | grep lvcreate 25053 pts/2 D<L+ 0:00 lvcreate -s -L 55M -n tables_snap /dev/database_vg/tables_lv Running lvdisplay in a different terminal to see if lvm itself is still seeing all LVs results in lvdisplay going into deep-sleep mode as well. Doing an strace -p 25053 doesn't display anything (strace won't catch my interrupts either, but according to ps it's in a regular sleep). dmesg doesn't say anything to this situation. Is there a known issue with snapshots and xfs_freeze? Any way I can gather pertinent debugging info? I'm running lvm 2.01.04 (package from debian unstable).
