If you are using the version of device mapper in 2.6.5 and below, the following commands and LV types are not supported:

pvmove

snapshots

does it mean that from 2.6.6 they will work?

No - when that was written 2.6.6 was not out (AFAIK) - I guess I need to be more clear that none of the current 2.6 kernel.org kernels support pvmove or snapshots.

But do note that you can grab the latest unstable 2.6 patches from
http://people.sistina.com/~thornber/dm/ and test this before it gets into the main kernel.org kernel. Doing so and reporting success/failure will help us to get it stabilized faster.
