<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:10.5pt'> When I create multiple snapshots on a logical
volume that is being busy written to, the lvcreate command becomes dead when the
third or fourth snapshot is created on a single logical volume. The process
that writes to the logical volume also dies. “Dies” here means the program
doesn’t return, nor can it be killed by pressing CTRL-C or “kill” command. The
system is still responsive though, and I can login to run some other commands.
But once the error condition happens if I run any command that accesses the logical
volume, it also dies.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:10.5pt'> </span><span lang=EN-US>This problem was found
on Fedora Core 4 (2.6.11-1). I also tried it with the unstable dm patches and it
doesn’t cure.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:10.5pt'> Is this a known problem? I’ve searched the Internet
and found some folks discussing I/O scheduler issue in 2.6 kernel snapshot. Any
plan to fix it?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
