I'm testing snapshots under xfs for the first time.
I'm using LVM from the SuSE 8.0 release and a updated SuSE kernel that was
released at the end of July
I tried a simple
lvcreate --snapshot -L 25m --name config_snap /dev/VG1/config
lvscan
lvremove /dev/VG1/config_snap
and it worked fine. (I only tried it once.)
I just tried
xfs_freeze -f /config
lvcreate --snapshot -L 25m --name config_snap /dev/VG1/config
xfs_freeze -u /config
lvremove /dev/VG1/config_snap
and the lvcreate command seems to be locked up. Also, a lvscan is now core
dumping with a segmentation fault.
So I have 2 questions:
Should the above work? And if not, what is the right way to do this?
How can I get the lvcreate to terminate? I tried kill -9, but it had no effect.
Thanks
Greg
