Hi,

I am using Xen 3.4.2 with kernel 2.6.18.8 and Debian Lenny. I am having some problems with LVM-snapshots. I have crontab which makes once a night a snapshot from domU's LV.

The problem is that maybe once in a month the lvcreate command stucks and after that I have to reboot the machine to solve the problem.

So is this a problem on the Xen kernel or with Debian?

dmesg shows the following:
