I haven't been following LVM and Device Mapper and in my attempt to
catch up, I'm seeing information that snapshots aren't working/supported
in 2.6 DM (my initial reason for using LVM/DM).
According to[1] kernel.org's 2.6.7 needs patching, and I saw a thread[2]
about this from may. Have there been any changes since then? Will fc2
get a 2.6.8 based kernel any time soon (maybe like the one in rawhide)?
[1] To use snapshots and pvmove (mirroring) with 2.6 kernels you need
the latest patches from the 2.6-unstable series. 2.6.7-udm1 contains the
most up-to-date patches. Its snapshot and mirroring support has been
submitted for inclusion in 2.6.8.
