Are LVM snapshots working again?

[Dax Kelson]

LVM snapshots have been broken throughout RHL9 and all the errata
kernels.

See bugs:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88977
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=84278

Has anyone tried doing LVM snapshots with severn?

Does Chris Adams' patch (the second patch in 84278) fix it for
you?

It helped me to be able to mount ext3 snapshots.  Still get some warnings 
about not being able to write when mounting/umounting.  I figured it had 
something to do w/ the journal.  I haven't tried to explicitly mount it as 
ext2 yet.

The write errors are to be expected if you didn't specify to mount the
device ro. I believe snapshots are only read-only.

I do believe I've specified -o ro though.
