Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686 Version: 2.6.8-16 Severity: critical In sarge I was unable to take any lvm snapshots until I manually loaded the dm-snapshot kernel module with modprobe.
I took a snapshot of my /usr filesystem, but didn't remove the snapshot with lvremove before rebooting. After reboot, not only is the snapshot unavailable, but also the original filesystem. This makes the system unusable until the snapshot can be removed. If I boot kernel-image-2.4.27-2-686, (which fortunately I also had installed), I don't need to manually load dm-snapshot. Perhaps this is an lvm bug instead? http://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2004-August/msg00015.html Many thanks, Alex
