I just didn't load the module after migrating my volumes. If the problem is a stack problem, then its probably not necessarily a bug in LVM - just the combination of it, ext3 and the qlogic driver don't mix well - so if its not being used, then it won't be increasing the stack footprint. ~mc - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
