Re: snapshot creation

Did anyone respond to this query? I'm encountering the same problem
since upgrading evms on one of my machines with a recent patch from
Debian. I now have the following packages installed:

ii  evms                             2.5.5-22
Enterprise Volume Management System (core)
ii  evms-cli                         2.5.5-22
Enterprise Volume Management System (CLI)
ii  evms-gui                         2.5.5-22
Enterprise Volume Management System (GUI)
ii  evms-ncurses                     2.5.5-22
Enterprise Volume Management System (ncurses
ii  libevms-2.5                      2.5.5-22
Enterprise Volume Management System (library

Also, the error message being returned is:

lvm2/vs2_container/snap1 was rejected with error: Invalid argument

Like Martin, this was previously working fine. Also, we're running
kernel version 2.6.20.6.
