Yesterday I updated to version 8357. The previous version worked but had its ideosyncracies.

The installer congratulated me that all was successfull, but in the background i could see that some files had not been found or didn't exist . The popup hid part of the paths, so I'm not sure what was the issue.
From the on Ti gave me the error "Unable to create volume snapshot."

Using "dkms remove -m .. --all " I removed the 0.7.45 version, downloaded 0.7.47, build and installed it.
If I issue "dkms status" I get 3 lines beginning with snapapi26 0.7.47. The first line says Installed, the other 2 say "Installed-weak...".

If I issue "modprobe -l snapapi26" the OS responds with this path :
/lib/modules/2.6.18-128.1.10.el5/extra/snapapi26.ko

I'm no linux expert : I spent the better part of yesterday on this problem, but as far as I can tell the snapapi driver is loaded and active. Why doesn't it work ?

Any help very much appreciated.
