[linux-lvm] multiple snapshots

hi

i tried to create 2 snapshots of a LV, and i got in trouble ;) with one
snapshot there are apparently no problems, with two the kernel gives me
random oops-es and hangs. first, i tried with the root LV, then i tried
with a simple partition, the result were the same. i created the two
snapshots, after that i did a vgdisplay, there was everything alright, i
mounted the origin LV, i copied some files, i watched the percentage
increasing on the snapshots, then i did a 'ls -la' on the mounted
directory and then the kernel said bye-bye... i don't see any kernel
panic, just the usual register and memory dump, and the hang.

any ideas? don't tell me i cannot have more than one snapshot on one
given LV.

thx.
