Xen users - Oct 2006 - LVM2 + Xen 3.0.2 debian Sarge backports ...

Hi everybody  !

Well I''ve found this link to debian sarge  lvm 2.0.2 backport

http://blog.blackdown.de/2006/04/09/lvm-snapshots-with-debian-sarge-and-linux-2616/

Does anyone have test it ? Seems that with prior lvm tools (2.0.1) 
snapshots are not handled correctly ...
The author tell tha a  kernel patch is required for old 2.6.16  ? I''ve
a
2.6.16.19 kernel from alioth ... Do I need to patch my kernel ?

Regards

Sébastien

Reading another time the article
I''ve seen that kernel  > 2.6.16.12  doesn''t require lvm2
patch

Well so ... I need to test the packages ;)

i use lvm2 (2.01.04-5) on a plain sarge with kernel 2.6.8 and snapshots work 
without problems.
I also use lvm2 on sarge with other kernels (2.6.12, 2.6.16) and i''ve
found
out some problems. If there is to few free memory, sometimes snapshots
can''t
be created. My workaround is, when creating a snapshot fails, i try it again. 
Within five tries it normaly works. It''s not nice but it works for me.
