Description Juergen Maniera 2006-10-11 13:46:21 UTC
Description of problem:

If you reboot a System using LVM with an active Snapshot for a partition this
partition will not be readable at reboot any more :-(
As a workaround I had to add the following line into rc.sysinit
   
  modprobe dm_snapshot

before the LVM initialization starts
# LVM2 initialization
...

But maybe there is a more elegant way?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.93.25.EL-1
lvm2-2.02.06-6.0.RHEL4
Linux version 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp (brewbuilder.redhat.com) (gcc
version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)) #1 SMP Mon Sep 25 17:28:02 EDT 2006


How reproducible:

see above

Thank you and regards

What is the error message you get?

Comment 2 Juergen Maniera 2006-10-13 12:27:20 UTC
Sorry but I hat no time to note it, because this bug occured on a central server
I had to get running asap :-( But /dev/mapper/vg-... could not be mounted,
because there was no valid file system found.
