Looking at this bug the problem, as described by the submitter, seems to be this:
root(ian)@liberator:~> lvcreate -s -L 1G -n t /dev/vg-liberator/schroot-wheezy Logical volume "t" created root(ian)@liberator:~> lvs LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert lv-root vg-liberator -wi-ao 25.00g lv-swap vg-liberator -wi-ao 5.00g lv-ubuntu vg-liberator -wi-ao 5.00g lv-volt vg-liberator -wi-ao 40.00g schroot-wheezy vg-liberator owi-a- 10.00g t vg-liberator swi-a- 1.00g schroot-wheezy 0.00 root(ian)@liberator:~> lvchange -a n /dev/vg-liberator/schroot-wheezy root(ian)@liberator:~> lvchange -a n /dev/vg-liberator/t Can't change snapshot logical volume "t" root(ian)@liberator:~> lvs LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert lv-root vg-liberator -wi-ao 25.00g lv-swap vg-liberator -wi-ao 5.00g lv-ubuntu vg-liberator -wi-ao 5.00g lv-volt vg-liberator -wi-ao 40.00g schroot-wheezy vg-liberator owi--- 10.00g t vg-liberator swi--- 1.00g schroot-wheezy root(ian)@liberator:~> lvchange -a y /dev/vg-liberator/t Can't change snapshot logical volume "t" root(ian)@liberator:~> I think lvchange -a y <some snapshot lv> should activate the underlying lv if that's necessary. Or at the very least there should be some way to ask lvchange/vgchange to do so. So the real bug is in the lvm tools themselves, not in the initramfs scripts.
