[linux-lvm] F7 will not boot after running backup w/snapshot

[Gerry Reno]

Charles,
  Here's a snapshot ramdisk reference:
    
http://linuxsoftware.co.nz/blog/2008/03/11/lvm-snapshot-with-no-free-diskspace
   
  The ramdisk has been working without problem.  I tested it quite a bit 
before putting it into production.  But I don't know LVM internals so I 
cannot say whether it could have had anything to do with the hang that 
occurred.

Regards,
Gerry
