Bug#359078: Bug report confirmation of dependency between kernel 2.6.16 and lvm 2.02

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

retitle 359078 linux kernel 2.6.16+ needs lvm 2.02 or it will hang on lvremove
thanks

I can confirm that this is an issue.  I'm seeing it on a sarge machine
running kernel 2.6.16-2-686 from backports.org, and a simple lvremove
of a snapshot volume never returns...

Meanwhile, load on the system skyrockets, but most cycles are spent in
the "wait" state, rather than idle.  The system becomes unresponsive
rapidly, and must be reset.

A succinct statement of the dependency can be found here:
