It would be _really_ good if LVM2 would fail gracefully when a snapshot fails, or try to discover whether or not it can take the snapshot before trying. At the very least a big **WARNING** in the _LVM2_ docs and in lvcreate would help a lot. I found LVM1 snapshots so perfect that I never thought about them anymore; LVM2 on 2.6 was a nasty shock that I'd love to see others saved from.
