hi,

i recently have recompiled a 2.4.5 linux kernel with the lvm 0.9.1
beta8 tools into it (ie not as a module),
and have applied the patches that enables taking ReiserFS Snapshot.

I've encountered a problem :

when i create a LV with a reiser FS on it, and then take a snapshot of
this LV, i'm not able to mount the Snap;
but if i mount the LV to be snaped before taking a snapshot of it, all
is right, i can mount the Snap.

This pb doesn't appear with ext2 FS.
Is it a bug a the lvm/reiser tools ? Have some people yet have the same
pb as me ?

tanx.

Have you applied the linux-2.4.4-VFS-lock.patch ?
