Well, I started to fail with Mandriva 2007 beta 2 and 3. Beta 3's 
kernel was kernel-2.6.17.2mdv-1-1mdv2007.0. So I'm not sure the 
kernel version has impact.

I planned to update to mandriva-free-2007 this evening. I'll keep 
you informed.


Another point is that I have some striped LV. Could it be related ?

[root calimero ~]# lvdisplay -m /dev/vglinux1/lvswap
 --- Logical volume ---

Should I try to compile and try a vanilla Device-mapper from 
http://sources.redhat.com/dm/ ?
