Hi,
     I have debug the lvm2.02.64 (with the shared-snapshot patches).
     In the last email I mentioned the 'Cannot update volume group vg00 with
unknown segments in it!'
     The debug mesg: " vg_has_unknown_segments  function: snapshot0 has
unknown seg."
      I don't know when the snapshot0 has been created?why its segtype
unkown?
     Hope for your help.
     Thank you.


Best regards,
Busby
