Yes, I have a backup script that uses LVM snapshots.
I have found this to be problematic in the past, so I have been running it by
hand, just to see if it will complete.
It takes about 5 minutes to do the backup. (The data itself is not changing
very much and they are incrementals.)
It succeeded the first several times I tried it, but since then I get lockups.
(I quit at 3).

You are correct. I am using the vanilla 2.4.19 patched with the 2 patches at
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/Release-1.2pre3/kernel_patches/
So I will get the kdb patch and add it in.
Thanks
