Hi Ian, I've reproduced the crash with Linux anvil 2.6.15-27-server #1 SMP Sat Sep 16 02:57:21 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux and Linux ws75 2.6.15-26-386 #1 PREEMPT Thu Aug 3 02:52:00 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux both are bog standard 6.06 Ubuntu kernels (no custom funny business). Other versions are probably affected as well.
Adding sync to the script does seem to mitigate the chance of a crash, however I suspect it can still occur if the machine is sufficiently loaded. -- LVM Snapshot removal causes intermittent kernel panic https://launchpad.net/bugs/71567 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
