Hello,

I have a big problem with LVM2 (FC2) and the snapshot on a Dell PE1650 or Dell PE1750 (strangely not on a Dell GX240).
The host is frozen after 3 snapshot.

A bug ??

------------
Essai FC2 sur PE1750
no raid

ACTIVE Snapshot '/dev/vg0/snap2' [500.00 MB] next free (default)
ACTIVE Snapshot '/dev/vg0/snap3' [500.00 MB] next free (default)

  freeze !!

no log, no message on the console, possibilité de commande tel que ls, df, ps
j'essai de stopper le process lvscan -> impossible (état : D uninterruptible sleep (usually IO))

Try to remove snap : lvremove /dev/vg0/snapx -> freeze

Crash
