[linux-lvm] ERROR "parameter error" setting up snapshot copy on write exception table

[Emanuel Quass]

Hi

I rebooted the server several times (and tried several kernel-versions) but 
every time I got the same error!
The problem is (afaik see) the snapshot. I think if I can get rid of the 
snapshot everything will work all right. But I am not able to remove the 
snapshot because the Volumegroup is not active ...... 

Is there a way to remove the snapshot (the volumegroup can't be made active) 
without touching the other logical volumes ?
