Firstly, many thanks for Proxmox 2.3! it's an amazing piece of software and we are enjoying the new KVM live backups and memory ballooning features.
The problem is we cannot use LVM snapshot backups on OpenVZ containers since the upgrade, when using vzdump LVM snapshots the LVM sub-system just locks up when creating the snapshot. You cannot run any LVM commands or stop the backup task once this has happened, and we are forced to reboot the node to recover from the LVM lockup and to be able to remove the stuck snapshot.
This happens around about half the time over three different nodes that have always been one hundred percent stable until now, these issues have only started since the upgrade to Proxmox 2.3. We have 16GB free in the VG for the snapshots and OpenVZ LVM snapshot backups still work half the time if you try, but your looking at a node reboot once it fails again.
We are using LSI 9260 RAID cards running in RAID10 with WD RE4 drives on these nodes and backing up to our NFS backup servers on a private LAN, unfortunately I didn't get the LSI driver version before the update to 2.3, has the LSI driver version changed since 2.2? Is their anything else that could be causing this issue?
Regards,
Bob
