That your LVM library version is 1.02.90 (which is afaik the latest on
the Debian line), doesn't mean that you use LVM1 metadata. It is very
likely that you use LVM2. To check, you can see the output of "pvs"
("Fmt" = "lvm2"), or you can check "file -Lks /dev/sda2" where the
output should start with "/dev/sda2: LVM2 PV (Linux Logical Volume
Manager)".

Please also try to run lvcreate with "--verbose" and post the output.
