mounting a reiserfs snaphsot fails

Hi erverybody,

I just created a snapshot and tried to mount it:

lvcreate --size 112m --snapshot --name lvm-snapshot /dev/LVMhome_vg/home mount -oro -t reiserfs /dev/LVMhome_vg/lvm-snapshot /lvm-snapshot

but I get only:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on
/dev/LVMhome_vg/lvm-snapshot, or too many mounted file systems

The logical volumes have been created with SuSe 7.2 (i.e. an older version of the LVM tools), now I use SuSe 7.3,
lvcreate --version
lvcreate: Logical Volume Manager 1.0.1-rc2

Obviously, /dev/LVMhome_vg/home is a reiserfs.

Any idea?

Jürgen,

you need to upgrade the LVM software to the recent CVS one at www.sistina.com.

Don't forget to start with a fresh vanilla kernel, patch it with the LVM driver as describes in INSTALL and PATCHES/README of the LVM source distro and add the VFS patch contained in it as well.
