Hi LVM-Team,

sorry for dropping in again.

The more I think about this bug the less it makes sense to me that it
has been reassigned to initrd-tools. This bug can occur even on systems
without an initrd image! Moreover I see no reason why all the other LVM
modules are loaded by the init script but not dm-snapshot.

And the more I think about it the more I believe my suggestion (simply
loading dm-snapshot in the init script like all the other LVM modules)
is the right thing to do in order to fix the bug. I attached a patch
which should fix it.

Bye
  Micha
