Hi all, I use to make hot backup of a running system using the lvm snapshot feature. I do backup of both data and system partition (including root and var). Randomly, when creating the snapshot logical volumes lvm completely hang the system forcing me to hw reset the machine. Searching around about this problem I found that also other lvm users suffer of a similar problem when the root partition is involved, but I was unable to understand what is the cause of the problem and if there is a way to avoid it. Does LVM really support root partition ? Does the problem involves only snapshot or also other aspetcs ? Workaround ? Thank you very much.
