The invalidate: busy buffer message comes from fs/buffer.c, inside invalidate_bdev(). It's just a warning message indicating the buffer has a positive b_count -- presumably, somebody is still using it. In this case, the code *doesn't* destroy the buffer, so it should be harmless. Don't know why you're getting millions of them, though. I remember seeing them before (during vgscan), but never in that quantity. I also don't know why your lvcreate dumps core. How recent are your LVM tools? Try using the -d option to lvcreate to see how far it gets, or run lvcreate from within gdb. Dale J.
