[Xen-devel] Xen 3.4.2 kernel / lvcreate crash

[Valtteri Kiviniemi <mailinglists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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:
