I read on LVM2 ML that many fixes for snapshots were released and that it is
much more stable. I''am trying to use snapshot features under heavy IO
stress
and so far no problem. I will test and dig a bit more in the ML to be sure
that is working as intended. I will soon put my solution in production so my
boss will get mad at me if it fails 2 months after its launch :p

Thank you for your comment on this.

It''s being actively developed?  Sounds good!

I thought it was a dead thing, haven''t seen a single thread about it
on dm-devel for at least 6 months.

Which ML did you see activity on ?

How are you testing?
Which patches to dm-snapshot are you using?
I''ve got an HP ProLiant (x86_64) here that''s not going into
production
for a month.  I''d like to chip in with some dm-snapshot (vs. Xen)
testing.
