Snapshot volume creation seg fault

Hi all:

I have the following questions:

1) Does LVM1/2 allow creation of striped snapshot volume? Or must snapshot volume be created using the second lvcreate format (i.e. one that doesn't allow specifying number of stripes/stripSize)?

lvcreate {-l/--extents LogicalExtentsNumber |
-L/--size LogicalVolumeSize[kKmMgGtT]} [-c/--chunksize ChunkSize]
-s/--snapshot -n/--name SnapshotLogicalVolumeName OriginalLogicalVol- umePath [PhysicalVolumePath...]

I tried to create a snapshot volume using the following cmd line (Notice the seg fault at the end):

[root@DAP-RHLNX1 common]# lvcreate -i2 -I4 -L4M -s -nsyueSnapVol /dev/vg00-lvm1/syueVol
device-mapper ioctl cmd 13 failed: Invalid argument device-mapper ioctl cmd 13 failed: Invalid argument Rounding up size to full physical extent 32.00 MB Rounding size (1 extents) up to stripe boundary size (2 extents)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This work however,
[root@DAP-RHLNX1 common]# lvcreate -L4M -s -nsyueSnapVol /dev/vg00-lvm1/syueVol
device-mapper ioctl cmd 13 failed: Invalid argument device-mapper ioctl cmd 13 failed: Invalid argument
Rounding up size to full physical extent 32.00 MB
Logical volume "syueSnapVol" created
[root@DAP-RHLNX1 common]#

2) I'm still confusesd as to why the device-mapper is returning invalid argument for some operations:

[root@DAP-RHLNX1 common]# lvremove /dev/vg00-lvm1/syueSnapVol
device-mapper ioctl cmd 13 failed: Invalid argument device-mapper ioctl cmd 13 failed: Invalid argument Logical volume "syueSnapVol" successfully removed

Are there any incompatibilites between the LVM/device-mapper version that I'm using?

[root@DAP-RHLNX1 common]# vgscan --version
LVM version: 2.00.22 (2004-09-03)
Library version: 1.00.18-ioctl (2004-06-20)
Driver version: 4.0.5

Thanks,

Stanley
