Hi

You need to suspend and resume the origin device after create message and
before attaching the snapshot.

But rather, you could use userspace support for shared snapshots, it makes
the use much easier, you can use lvcreate, lvremove, lvresize commands:

for lvm-2.02.54:
http://people.redhat.com/mpatocka/patches/userspace/new-snapshots/lvm-2.02.54/
for lvm-2.02.60:
http://people.redhat.com/mpatocka/patches/userspace/new-snapshots/lvm-2.02.60/
for lvm-2.02.62:
http://people.redhat.com/msnitzer/patches/multisnap/lvm2/LVM2-2.02.62/

Hi,
**** I used the patchs for LVM2.02.54, however, when i compiled it, an err came:
****
../lib/liblvm-internal.a(lv_manip.o): In function `lv_extend':
lv_manip.c.text+0x629a): undefined reference to `last_seg'

* where is the 'last_seg' 's definition?

* my linux kernel version is 2.6.18.
* thank you!
*
best regards
Bubsy
