Usage of any containers with DM is seriously non-trivial task (especially if 
you are dealing with anything more complex then 'linear' dm target).

Linux device is not a containerized resource a there need to exist something 
like a 'cluster locking' mechanism how to manipulate with devices and metadata.

If you are on a single host - there is used 'file locking' - but if you start 
to manipulate lvm2 metadata from multiple containers at the same time - 
without 'locking' mechanism between all commands - it will soon go ballistic 
and explode...  (and it's actually weird you managed to go as high as 500 
transactions without noticing problem...)
