So my question is: is creating the snapshot volume with a size larger
than the
target volume inducing segfaults randomly or could there be another
problem
lurking? If these weren't production machines I would normally just
go with a
size smaller than the target but I really need to be sure what
exactly is
causing the segfaults.
Any help would be appreciated.
Any special reason to use lvm2 from the year 2006 in the year 2013 ?
There is no big point in fixing some particular bugs any many years
obsoleted source code.
Can you try to use/rebuild more recent version?
Upgrading production systems can be expensive - hence the value of paid
long term support contracts. I don't think he is asking to fix it -
just to confirm that it is an LVM bug, which could make upgrading more
attractive, or make the workaround (of ensuring snapshot size <= source
size) acceptable.
