[linux-lvm] [catch22] lvm vs reiserfs

Hi,
I decided to really try out some of the features built into 2.4. Using a
2.4.2-ac20 kernel I my root on /dev/lv/root as a reiserfs filesystem. So
far so good. Now I want to back it up. So I created a snapshot with
lvcreate -L 50 -s -n snap /dev/lv/root. This works too. Problem happens
when I want to mount /dev/lv/snap to back it up logically. At this point
reiserfs wants to replay its journal.... Of course it cannot (snapshot=ro).
How can this be resolved? Is there a way to sync root just after the lvm
data gets updated in /etc but before the snapshot starts? How else might
this be fixed (is it fixed already somewhere)?
TIA
