I am utilizing LVM snapshots, and every once in a while I get this 'you
must specify the filesystem type' error when trying to mount the volume:
$> ./snapshot.sh -s
lvremove -- doing automatic backup of volume group "datagrp"
lvremove -- logical volume "/dev/datagrp/datasnap" successfully removed
lvcreate -- WARNING: the snapshot will be automatically disabled once it
gets full
lvcreate -- INFO: using default snapshot chunk size of 64 KB for
"/dev/datagrp/datasnap"
lvcreate -- doing automatic backup of "datagrp"
lvcreate -- logical volume "/dev/datagrp/datasnap" successfully created
mount: block device /dev/datagrp/datasnap is write-protected, mounting
read-only
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
But it only happens once in a while. How can I rid myself of this
issue? I am on SuSE Linux 7.2 (2.4.7-64GB-smp) with lvm 0.9.1 beta7.
Thanks,

Mount could not mount the FS.

So it's probably not an journalled FS (which needs a
kernel-patch for online snapshots). What does the system
log say? (dmesg, /var/log/messages or whereever)

You may want to upgrade your Kernel and LVM-Tools to 1.0.1...
No guarantee that the snapshots will be any better, though.

It's ReiserFS so it's journaled. Only once in a while to I get the
error. Var log messages gives this error when I snapshot:
Dec 10 10:57:43 ino kernel: fatfs: bogus logical sector size 0
Dec 10 10:57:43 ino kernel: VFS: Can't find a valid MSDOS filesystem on
dev 3a:01.
Dec 10 10:57:44 ino kernel: reiserfs: checking transaction log (device
3a:01) ...
Dec 10 10:57:44 ino kernel: Using r5 hash to sort names
Dec 10 10:57:44 ino kernel: reiserfs: using 3.5.x disk format
Dec 10 10:57:44 ino kernel: ReiserFS version 3.6.25
funny thing tho, it works just fine most of the time.
