Is there any chance to tweak lvm in the mean time, so that it doesn't
/try/ to take a snapshot? I was forced to reboot to recover access to an
LV after trying to take a snapshot. There was no indication that
snapshots are broken under 2.6 either - a note in the LVM README would
be really handy.

Most importantly, though, an informative error message would be
invaluable.
