Does that imply, that lvm snapshots should work with 2.6.0
kernels?
When I try the following (ok its xfs but ...)
xfs_freeze -f /home
lvcreate --size 250m -s -n snap1 /dev/vg00/home_lv
xfs_freeze -u /home
I get this error:
Rounding up size to full physical extend 252.00 MB
device-mapper: error adding target to table
device-mapper ioctl cmd 9 failed: Invalid argument
Couldn't load device 'vg00-snap1'.
Problem reactivating origin home_lv
?!
With a patched Debian kernel that worked ok with 2.4.22 (IIRC).
