Hello everybody,

I think I nailed it down with git bisect. My first bad commit is:

75628f341ad38b68aae33eae0b5700be2a6e5769
configure: enable blkid_wiping by default if the blkid library is
present

Looks like this wipes data that is still needed... Building a package
with '--disable-blkid_wipe' now to verify on another system.

Uh, this only helps part of...

I changed my test setup and used writable snapshots. After that I got:

WARNING: DM_snapshot_cow signature detected on /dev/cvg/snap-home at
offset 0. Wipe it? [y/n]

(see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=176504 for another
report)

Looks like disabling blkid_wiping fixes this. My snapshot corruption
still occurs though. :-/
Bad thing about it is that the corruption does not occur reliable when
doing simple tests in 'git bisect'... Out of ideas for now - Will go
to bed now.

Now this was helpful, I guess I think what is going on.

Great! Waiting for patches then. :D

I could provide some more information when needed:

* This happens with read only snapshots only.
* I could reproduce with commit eaa23d32732c9bc3dd4f948781b5764cf21d84ba
    (wiping: add support for blkid wiping), so it was introduced there or
    before.

Should I investigate further or wait for something to test from you?

Is the patch bellow fixing your problem ?
(It's still not final - but should help)

          }

This looks good to me. I've made some backups now without any corruption.

I have not seen anything show up in git master. Or did I miss the final
solution?

No yet committed upstream - there are more ongoing fixes in this area - I'll
commit them all together.

There will also fix for lvcreate -an
