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

[Steffen Plotner]

Hi,

With FC4 for example I cannot remove a snapshot while the underlying
logical volume is under heavy I/O.  Once all I/O stops I can remove the
snapshot. Doing a lvremove will hang.

I noticed that this is still the case... but I want to use it :-)

I need to set up simple snapshot/rsync backups of XFS filesystems, so
I'm wondering what the current thinking in the community is. Is it
reliable enough to trust not to crash my server or do other nasty
things?
