Re: [PATCH] LVM snapshot support for reiserfs and others

From: Chris Mason (mason@suse.com)
Date: Tue Aug 21 2001 - 23:06:39 EST


Ok, here's a version against 2.4.8-ac8, tested against ext2 and
reiserfs. Andreas reported ext3 success with the last patch,
and none of the LVM guys have complained yet ;-)

BTW [sistina folks], it might be a good idea to update lvm-1.0.x
the 2.4.4 VFS-lock patches no longer apply cleanly.

Alan, please include:

-chris

# allow LVM to lock the filesystem during snapshot creation, so the
# FS can flush pending changes and put things into a consistent state.
#
# includes small fix to current reiserfs support, forcing a transaction
# commit during the lock.
