[linux-lvm] Mounting ext3 snapshots

I'm trying to mount ext3 snapshot LV's, and having a bit of trouble. I
could have sworn I read this become possible awhile back on one of the
lists (maybe that was reiserfs?). Anyways I've attempted the following:

mount -t ext3 /dev/SCSI/home_test /mnt
dmesg reports:
	EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem.
	EXT3-fs: write access unavailable, cannot proceed.

mount -o noload -t ext3 /dev/SCSI/home_test /mnt
dmesg reports:
	ext3: No journal on filesystem on lvm(58,17)

Attempting to mount as -t ext2 doesn't help.

But non of them allow me to mount the snapshots.

Attempting to mount a -t ext2 doesn't help.

I'm using:
debian 3.0
mount 2.11n (debian package)
LVM 1.0.1
Kernel 2.4.18-pre7

I'm guessing I just have the wrong mount options...anyone have any
pointers? TIA.
