[linux-lvm] lvcreate segfault in vg_setup_pointers_for_snapshots

[svetljo]

some my thoughts:

you can not expect that lvm tools will work in case the kernel code is 
different version
every time you change the tools you should also patch the kernel

in the case with 0.9.1beta7,
i didn't know that it is possible to use any lvm code prior lvm-1.0.1rc1
( the min -max changes in linus's 2.4.9 -- the reason for lvm-1.0.1rc1)
and thats making me to think that you didn't patch the kernel,
the plain kernel comes with lvm-0.9.1beta2
so see again the begining
