Someone has already mentioned #659762. But looking at lvm's buglist shows loads and loads of bugs related to snapshots. I and people I know have experienced several different kinds of races with various versions of lvm2 in stable and oldstable. It seems that a big part of the problem is the design of the interaction with udev. I haven't looked at the code but I have had a handwaving explanation of the design from a friend who was digging into the code to try to track down their own race bug. From that explanation I concluded that the problem was a terrible design. Personally, the main symptom I experience is that my netbook fills up with stale snapshots which can't be removed. Stopping udev makes it possible to remove them. I haven't reportded this bug because it seems that the lvm2 bug list is absolutely full of reports of race bugs.
