[linux-lvm] mounting a reiserfs snaphsot fails

[Heinz J . Mauelshagen]

Jürgen,

you need to upgrade the LVM software to the recent CVS one at www.sistina.com.

Don't forget to start with a fresh vanilla kernel, patch it with the LVM
driver as describes in INSTALL and PATCHES/README of the LVM source distro
and add the VFS patch contained in it as well.
