Bug#659762: lvm2: LVM commands freeze after snapshot delete fails

[Sven Hartge]

Hi *,

just a short notice on this/these bug/s (maybe one should merge all
those "unable to remove snapshot"-bugs?):

I recompiled the lvm2-src from Unstable (2.02.98-5) on Wheezy and
installed that on 7 of my servers which had problems with the removal of
lvm snapshots while using rsnapshot and mylvmbackup.

Right now, all 7 servers have each ran over 1000 iterations of
rsnapshot, thus creating and removing a lvm snapshot during the backup
cycle and not one of them failed.

So something in the current version of lvm2 seems to fix the bug or at
least reduce the likely-hood of it appearing dramatically.

With the original lvm2 (2.02.95-7) the lockup appears nearly instantly.

Grüße,
Sven.
