Package: lvm2 Version: 2.00.24-1 Followup-For: Bug #237754
It sounds a lot like the issue I've encountered. If so, the problem is that /etc/init.d/lvm doesn't attempt to modprobe dm-snapshot before activating volumes. A volume that has a snapshot associated cannot be activated if snapshot support is not loaded; thus, activating the volume fails. To fix, add 'modprobe dm-snapshot >/dev/null 2>&1' below the other modprobe lines in /etc/init.d/lvm . It'd be great to have this in the shipping package (maybe even in Sarge - it's only a trivial change, but with the freeze and all...). Perhaps this has something to do with the debconf key mentioned below. dpkg-reconfigure has nothing to say about it though. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages lvm2 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdevmapper1.00 2:1.00.19-2 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii lvm-common 1.5.17 The Logical Volume Manager for Lin -- debconf information: lvm2/snapshots: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
