Greetings,
I'm just getting started playing around with the lvm.
I've used the HP-UX lvm, and was giving the Linux
version a spin for the very first time when I ran into
some big problems:
Let me know if I'm doing something really stupid, but
something tells me a kernel oops is not a good sign!
An excerpt from the fateful session:
-----------------------------------------------------
wintermute: /root
(tty/dev/pts/0): bash: 1014 > lvcreate -L 2000 -s -n snap1
/dev/lxlvm/lvm1
lvcreate -- INFO: using default snapshot chunk size of 64 KB
lvcreate -- doing automatic backup of "lxlvm"
lvcreate -- logical volume "/dev/lxlvm/snap1" successfully created
wintermute: /root
(tty/dev/pts/0): bash: 1015 > mount /dev/lxlvm/snap1 /snapshots/d1/
segmentation fault
------------------------------------------------------
The volume was not mounted.
oops -> ksymoops follows:
ksymoops 0.7c on i686 2.4.0-test10. Options used
-V (default)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.4.0-test10/ (default)
-m /boot/System.map (specified)

Check your userspace tools. The kernel trusts the data that arrives from the
userspace tools. If the data that arrives from userspace is wrong the kernel
will malfunction. On the kernel list a few days ago I pointed out an userspace
tools package that works for me.
