Bug#549691: failures removing (and sometimes creating) lvm snapshot lvs

[Tim Black]

I am also getting error removing (and sometimes creating) lvm snapshots using rsnapshot's lvm support. The errors are intermittent, and following the errors I can manually perform the same operation using lvcreate/lvremove at command line. 

I am using Karmic Ubuntu server with rsnapshot 1.3.1 and latest from CVS. 

Kernel: Linux servy 2.6.31-20-server #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 05:40:05 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

tim at servy:/usr/local/src/rsnapshot-1.3.1$ sudo lvm version
  LVM version:     2.02.39 (2008-06-27)
  Library version: 1.02.27 (2008-06-25)
  Driver version:  4.15.0

LVM2 Dependencies:
libc6 2.10.1-0ubuntu16
libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.27-4ubuntu7
dmsetup 2:1.02.27-4ubuntu7
udev 147~-6.1

Like TImm with 2 m's I am not using UUIDs in fstab and am not snapshotting swap.
