--- Comment #4 from Jeremy Katz <katzj@redhat.com> 2009-02-04 09:15:40 EDT --- The problem is that the overlay fills up and that there is then nothing that can really be done. Fedora 10 adds the 'reset_overlay' option that you can pass on the kernel command line which helps to recover, but ultimately, we need something better than dm-snapshot to use for the overlay
