Hello, same thing here.
Environment Ubuntu 7.04: ---------------------------------- Linux titan 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux ii dmsetup 1.02.08-1ubuntu10 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper userspace library ii libdevmapper1.02 1.02.08-1ubuntu10 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper userspace library ii libvolume-id0 108-0ubuntu4 volume identification library ii lvm2 2.02.06-2ubuntu9 The Linux Logical Volume Manager ii mdadm 2.5.6-7ubuntu5 tool to administer Linux MD arrays (software RAID) ii udev 108-0ubuntu4 rule-based device node and kernel event manager ii volumeid 108-0ubuntu4 volume identification tool Example: + lvcreate -A n -s -n opt_0.backup -L 1G /dev/vgsys/opt LV vgsys/opt_0.backup in use: not deactivating Couldn't deactivate new snapshot. + sleep 1 + lvremove -A n -f /dev/vgsys/opt_0.backup + lvcreate -A n -s -n opt_0.backup -L 1G /dev/vgsys/opt => one second after first lvcreate failed it worked fine I had same problem with openSuSE 10.1 very often (see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=178321), with Ubuntu it's less often but from time to it also happens.
