[linux-lvm] lvm2 with clusterlock problems with snapshot

[Falk Hackenberger - MediaTransfer AG Netresearch & Consulting]

hello,

i plan to setup a fileserver with 2 nodes for ha and 1 san-device for
storege.

Bescause the san-device have noch snapshot option (budget), ihave to
snapshot with lvm2 for backup.

so my testsetup with onde node works fine, exept the snapshot.
if I try to snapshot I get

root at kain ~]# lvcreate -L1G -s  -n snap /dev/data/home

creates a new logical volume without problems works.
