Description Jean-Luc Coulon 2009-06-29 13:11:08 UTC
Distribution : Debian sid
System : athlon64 x2 4200+
Architecture : x86_64

This is working on 2.6.30

I want to get a snapshot of an lvm logical volume (encrypted, XFS filesystem)

I get:
[jean-luc@tangerine] % sudo lvcreate -l 500 -s -n snap /dev/cryptvg0/home_lv
  device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: invalid parameter
  Failed to suspend origin home_lv

With 2.6.30, I get:
[jean-luc@tangerine] % sudo lvcreate -l 500 -s -n snap /dev/cryptvg0/home_lv
  Logical volume "snap" created

Maybe this is related to http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13641

Regards

Jean-Luc

Check mesg/kernel log file for slightly more information and post it here.  (There's one known regression in snapshots - failing to recognise the snapshot type N or P - it might be related. There's a patch for that in -mm.)
Comment 2 Jean-Luc Coulon 2009-06-30 12:04:28 UTC
I tried to boot 2.6.31-git4.
It failed to moount /usr (which is also on xfs over lvm).

Here are some relevant parts of the boot log.

Then the boot process ends because /usr was not mounted.

This is problem and there is bug in exception store type name handling which must be fixed,
introduced by commit f6bd4eb73cdf2a5bf954e497972842f39cabb7e3

(I'll send patch later here).

Thanks for reporting it.
