[linux-lvm] Snapshots failing w/ kernel 2.6.4

Howdy all,
I'm running Fedora Core 2 test 1 + updates, which means:
kernel-2.6.4-1.305
lvm2-2.00.08-5
device-mapper-1.00.07-3.1
When I try to create a snapshot of a 50g LV named 'home':
# lvm lvcreate -s -L 5g -n home.snap0 /dev/vg0/home
I receive the following error:
device-mapper ioctl cmd 9 failed: Invalid argument
Couldn't load device 'vg0-home.snap0'.
Problem reactivating origin home
This also results in some bogus entries in both the list of LVs and the
device-mapper. Manually removing the dm entry (dmsetup remove ...) and
then removing the LV seems to work.
Is this a known problem?
Thanks,
-- Lars
