Anyone? I'd better improve that error message to suggest people look at the logs for more information:-) The most common cause is people trying to use snapshots or mirrors (pvmove) while running a kernel that doesn't support them: fix is to upgrade. (Newer code already detects those cases and gives more specific messages.)
