I've recently started getting device mapper errors that I don't
understand while creating a LVM snapshot. I think I blew my chance at
asking the linux-lvm list (list archives show my blunder), but this also
seems like a device mapper issue. Apologies in advance if this is the
wrong list for such a question... I'm not really sure whom to ask.
Here are the errors. Anyone know what's going on?
