Steve,
thanks for updating on this.

As I mentioned when you offered the code it will show up in post 1.0 Linux LV M.
Can we get in touch to sort it out of XFS once it is in post LVM 1.0?

Hi Heinz,
Hmm, there may be a little confusion here. The code I was refering to was the code to pause and flush xfs to disk for snapshotting. This has no dependencies on lvm, and is in the xfs tree now. The code for making snapshots writeable from Dale Stephenson at Connex is very lvm specific, we could provide that as a patch to our tree until you are ready to take it. Is this the code you are refering to? There is also the code you already provide as a patch to make the write_super_lockfs and unlockfs calls - is that remaining in patch form in 1.0?

Yes,
that's the one I was refering too.
In case I got your message wrong, don't worry about the issue any longer. It is queued for LVM > 1.0 anyway.

Yes, unless it is integrated in vanilla then.
