Re: [Xen-users] LVM2 snapshots and XEN = problem :(
I have also avoided using snapshots so far for the same reasons. I've
also been looking at EVMS (as I have a SAN, but no raid controller, and
I'd like to be able to give each domU a small fraction of a mirror and
still be able to individually hot-migrate domains. I believe this can be
done with EVMS. see
http://www.archivesat.com/Xen_technical_preview_development/thread481214.htm
)
As for the LVM snapshot issues, I have avoided lvm snapshots so far out of
fear of dom0 crashes. Would it be possible for me to export the master
volume read-only to all the domUs, then have the domUs each create and
mount their own writable snapshot in DomU-space? If it's in domU space,
stability is less of a concern.

do you mean that the problem is in userspace and not on the kernel? what
about using EVMS for volume management? since it uses the same kernel
facilities it might avoid the but if it's in userspace, but not if it's in
kernelspace...
i haven't been able to reproduce the problem, but it really makes me nervous
to rely on snapshots for new designs
