Hello, We are in trouble creating snapshot devices on fedora-core 4... Kernel version: 2.6.16-1.2111_FC4smp. We have created new RPM's using the development SRPMS (device-mapper-1.02.07-1.0 & lvm2-2.02.06-1.2.1). The same trouble occurs with stock device-mapper & lvm2 RPM's! Sometimes the snapshot device is created succesfully but most times is fails... The script: ophelia.han.nl:~# lvs LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% cache vg -wi-ao 1.00G home vg -wi-ao 500.00M log vg -wi-ao 500.00M postfix vg -wi-ao 10.00G tmp vg -wi-ao 100.00M usr vg -wi-ao 800.00M var vg -wi-ao 200.00M ophelia.han.nl:~# lvcreate -s -n test -L 100M /dev/vg/postfix LV vg/test in use: not deactivating Couldn't deactivate new snapshot. ophelia.han.nl:~# lvs LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% cache vg -wi-ao 1.00G home vg -wi-ao 500.00M log vg -wi-ao 500.00M postfix vg -wi-ao 10.00G test vg -wi-a- 100.00M tmp vg -wi-ao 100.00M usr vg -wi-ao 800.00M var vg -wi-ao 200.00M ophelia.han.nl:~# mount /dev/vg/test /1 mount: you must specify the filesystem type ophelia.han.nl:~# lvremove /dev/vg/test Do you really want to remove active logical volume "test"?
