Dear all
I test snapshot function on my system.
when I create the first snapshot, everything works fine.
then I create more snapshot, everything works fine too.
but when I access the source volume and do sync
the sync command will be dead.
and I test with a script file
I=0
for I in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
do
cp -af /etc /mnt/volume1
lvcreate -s -L 64 -n snaplv${I} /dev/VG01/volume1
sleep 1
done
after create the 4th sn apshot volume, the system process hang without
any error message.
