Andreas answered this question already. (In short: upgrade kernel part 
of lvm to beta6 or use a patch provided by Andreas) See e.g.
 http://lists.sistina.com/pipermail/linux-lvm/2001-March/006580.html

There is also a search page for the archive of this (and the other)
lvm mailing list(s):

(4004fe0a leads to the answers)
