[linux-lvm] lvm issues

[Little, Chris]

I am having an issue with LVM.  Particularly with the "-s" option of
lvcreate.  I have an oracle database contained within 10 lv's of a 15 volume
vg.

When executing the snapshot, the database always returns corrupted.  The
error is :
DBVERIFY: Release 9.2.0.3.0 - Production on Mon Dec 1 17:02:28 2003

We are running SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, Service Pack 3 on an IBM
z/900 under z/VM 4.3.  We have tried different filesystems, but currently we
are running ext3.  fsck -f reports clean.  Please let me know what kind of
information you need.
