Hi Thomas, snapshotting is on my list, problem is there is lots of
stuff in front of it now - not necessarly all xfs linux! I was
talking with Chris Mason about this and the way they do it sounds
like it might have possibilities for us too.
Peter Braam has also been working on getting Intermezzo and snapfs running
with xfs, snapfs will require more work, but will give another version
of the snapshotting functionality.
As for your other issues, once I got hold of the test suite Redhat
uses, it gets really easy to crash 2.4 kernels - there are plenty of
generic problems coming out under heavy load, you may just be another
victim of the bleeding edge.
