RE: [linux-lvm] 'snapshot' target still experimental :-(

["Steffen Plotner" <swplotner amherst edu>]

Hi,

I apologize for looking up your machine. I have reported this problem
sometime ago in November of last year.  

https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2005-November/msg00044.html

We currently deployed an iscsi-target (from sourceforge) server on FC4
which functions well, until we utilize snapshots. The way I currently
remove snapshots is to stop the iscsi-target daemon for 5 seconds, to
let everything settle, then remove the snap, the restart the
iscsi-target and all is ok (of course this is not how I would like to do
things.. :).

I have tried several patches dm and lvm in late December and they did
not help. I have specifics at my house. I will email those later on.
Thank you for responding to this issue.

Steffen

Strange - I don't recall anyone reporting that problem before.

I've just tried it here and the machine locked up:-(
