I've tried lots of different methods, including the one you suggest.  
The fs seems to create, but when I try to mount it, /var/log/messages
says:

Jul  6 07:28:59 pecan kernel: VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev dm-0.

What is the dm-0?

Below is the command where I made the fs I mount to get the above error:

[root at pecan db01_vg]# mkfs -j /dev/db01_vg/db01_lv

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 20 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first.  Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.

[root at pecan db01_vg]# mount /dev/db01_vg/db01_lv /db01
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

[root at pecan db01_vg]# mount -t ext3 /dev/db01_vg/db01_lv /db01
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/db01_vg/db01_lv,
       or too many mounted file systems
