Your joking right? I know at least half a dozen ways to crash or deadlock linux. Perhaps some of the bugs have been fixed in newer kernels (I generally report them), but like any OS out there Linux has it holes. The LVM bug where a system can be hung with a mirrored swap LV is just one. Reported it for RHEL 4 but I'll bet it's still in there (it was obvious that RH had no intention of fixing it). https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=559959 _______________________________________________ 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/
