Hi I see that the latest updates of RHEL4 include an updated LVM RPM. Has anbody been using these yet?
Does anybody have a +ve and consistant experience with the latest LVM.
LVM used to crash servers in the not so distant past.
Many thanks

I can't speak of any testing that has been done but from the list of bugfixes that they've done is it seems that RHEL4U3 has indeed adressed the device mapper/snapshot issue that could crash the system.
If you find the time to try this out, let us know how it went.
Florian.

Well, I just had a system crash and rebuilt it using RHEL4 (instead of 3). It's only been a couple of days, but it looks good. I'll let you know in a couple of weeks (please ping this thread to remind me).

And which version of LVM and the kernel are you currently running?

For RHEL4, you should have at least RHEL4 update 3 - this was a kernel issue in the devmapper code and has been patched by RedHat.
Cheers,
