Bug#419209: lvm2: Hangs during snapshot creation

[Jean-Luc Coulon (f5ibh)]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.06-4
Severity: important

Hi,

New lvm2 version (2.02.24) hangs during snapshot creation.
The lvmvreate process is not killeable at this point and the system need to be
reboted.

I've reverted to the previous version which works fine.

The system is over a raid5 and the filesystem is xfs. 

Regards 

Jean-Luc
