Good point, well made.  My apologies, was hoping you'd recognise it just
from the error because of it being reported numerous other places. :)

dmsetup/libdevmapper1.02: 1.02.05-1ubuntu1
lvm2: 2.02.02-1ubuntu1.5

The machine is a P4 - running the Ubuntu "server" kernel (which seems to
be compiled CONFIG_M686=y).

A command line that causes the error: 
lvcreate -L2G -s -n test /dev/Ubuntu/storage

(-L500M works, -L550M (rounded up to PE at 552MB) doesn't.

There are no layered devices - the LVM array is on an Areca IDE raid
array, which appears as /dev/sda6.
