[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#583504: schroot: non-uuid formatted chroot names do not work with lvm snapshots

[Zach Carter]

Package: schroot
Version: 1.4.2
Severity: normal

When compiled without uuid support, schroot creates chroot names that include 
colon characters in them.  When creating a snapshot based on those names, the 
lvcreate command fails like this:

E: 05lvm:   Logical volume name "f12-2010-05-27T20:35:13Z-12237" is invalid

Recommendation: when uuid support is not available, convert the colon 
characters to some other allowable character, such as underscore '_'.

Alternatively, another suggestion would be to modify the autotools to require 
uuid support.
