Hi, I apologize for looking up your machine. I have reported this problem sometime ago in November of last year. https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2005-November/msg00044.html We currently deployed an iscsi-target (from sourceforge) server on FC4 which functions well, until we utilize snapshots. The way I currently remove snapshots is to stop the iscsi-target daemon for 5 seconds, to let everything settle, then remove the snap, the restart the iscsi-target and all is ok (of course this is not how I would like to do things.. :). I have tried several patches dm and lvm in late December and they did not help. I have specifics at my house. I will email those later on. Thank you for responding to this issue.

Strange - I don't recall anyone reporting that problem before. I've just tried it here and the machine locked up:-( Alasdair -- agk@redhat.com _______________________________________________ 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/ _______________________________________________ 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/
