[linux-lvm] Internal error: Maps lock

[Alexander Skwar]

Hello again.

I'm now running into another problem:

+ /sbin/lvm lvcreate --permission r --snapshot /dev/Sys/Home --name
Home-Backup_Snapshot --extents 15%ORIGIN
  Internal error: Maps lock 14004224 < unlock 14266368
  Logical volume "Home-Backup_Snapshot" created

What does this "Internal error" mean? Did it actually cause any harm?
I'm confused, because it then goes on to say that the LV was created
and I've also been able to mount "Home-Backup_Snapshot" (it's ext4,
if it matters).
