Hi,

are there any known issues with the snapshot feature in LVM 1.0.4?
Using it for backups of XFS causes trouble and leads to kernel crashes
regularly. For the moment I can give hardly any details because XFS
filled the log file with zeros after crashing. Sometimes the kernel
oopses when running xfsdump, sometimes when I do lvremove on the
snapshot device.
