hi
i tried to create 2 snapshots of a LV, and i got in trouble ;) with one
snapshot there are apparently no problems, with two the kernel gives me
random oops-es and hangs. first, i tried with the root LV, then i tried
with a simple partition, the result were the same. i created the two
snapshots, after that i did a vgdisplay, there was everything alright, i
mounted the origin LV, i copied some files, i watched the percentage
increasing on the snapshots, then i did a 'ls -la' on the mounted
directory and then the kernel said bye-bye... i don't see any kernel
panic, just the usual register and memory dump, and the hang.
any ideas? don't tell me i cannot have more than one snapshot on one
given LV.
thx.

at this point the system still works but i cannot do reading/writing on
that mounted partition. looks like ext3's journal has some problems with
the snapshots?
i did a restart, i removed, then recreated the two snapshots, did some
reading/writing, then another oops popped up:

after this the same thing... i cannot read nor write to the partition,
and eventually have to reboot.
(now there's a little detail i didn't mention... this "computer" i'm
testing on is in a vmware installed fedora core 2. but i don't think
that could be a problem. or could it?)

anybody anything? i still have this problem... the main question is: can
one have multiple snapshots of the same LV, without problems? with one
snapshot e ok, but as soon as i create another snapshot, and try to do
something on the origin LV, it hangs, it oops-es.

Same on my machines, if more than one snapshot the system freezes after
a little time totally. Even the shutdown command does not work. I can
login via ssh an can see as many shutdown processes in ps list as i
issued. At the moment i assume that snapshots are not working as
expected or announced in the doku. These are my observations.

i tried on a real machine, the same thing happened. the only thing
different is that i don't see any oopses, or any error messages
indicating that something is wrong...

lvm snapshot is known to be unstable so far. if u have interest to
search the archival, there are many discussion on this.
lvm people has plan to stabilize it but with a lower priority than other
tasks. so we can only wait and hope it can be done soon or we can
petition to get it faster. :P

Hi,
Im currently working on a samba fileserver setup based on LVM2 on top of
kernel 2.4.22.
Our customer now wants to keep several snapshots (one every day) from
the main share for backup purpose. He wants to keep up to two weeks
online, that leads in 14 different snapshots for one source LV.
All of these snapshot LVs should be mountet.
The Source LV is about 1TB in Size, we have about 300Gb for snapshots
free.
Is this possible ?, did anyone else something like this before ?, how
big would the performance impact be ?
If someone can give me some hints,numbers
all would be welcome.
greetings
Stefan Majer
