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
