Hello List,

I use a old version LVM2 2.02.98 on kernel 3.0.101, I encountered such a problem.
The detailed steps are as below,
I am doing an update with the following strategy for updates

make LVM Snapshot of root ("/")  file system partition

Run zypper updates ->

Run a script to check certain stuff is OK ->

On failure of that script (if any of the check fail, e.g one rpm update failed), merge LVM -> 

Reboot (because you have to for an LVM merge if it's the root volume)

And then, sometimes as the system comes back up, Reiserfs sometimes goes read-only / corrupt.

which shows in the dmesg as

[   29.794593] BIOS EDD facility v0.16 2004-Jun-25, 1 devices found
[   30.412919] MCE: In-kernel MCE decoding enabled.

Did you meet this problem? this problem was fixed in the latest version?

Thanks a lot.
