Snapshots of RAID logical volumes are allowed (including "raid1"). However, snapshots of "mirror" logical volumes has been disallowed due to unsolvable issues inherent to the design. The fact that mirroring (dm-raid1.c) must stop all I/O as the result of a failure and wait for userspace intervention can lead to a circular dependency if userspace is simultaneously waiting for snapshots (on mirrors) to make an I/O update before proceeding. Various snapshot on mirror tests have been removed as a result.
