Another note about this...
I am able to create about a 40G logical volume but anything above 50G
fails with the below error. (Which makes sense because DevSize is
reporting that it only has 0.04 TB left.
Thanks,

I have a 3.09TB Hardware Raid 5 drive setup with, and I have already
used about 1TB worth of space on the volume group.
Today I tried to add another 500GB logical volume and it failed with:
[root@bill ~]# lvcreate -L500G -ntest VolGroup01
device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
Aborting. Failed to activate new LV to wipe the start of it.
dmesg shows this:
device-mapper: table: device 8:3 too small for target
device-mapper: table: 253:7: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
I have googled for the message and have read to run pvs like:
[root@bill ~]# pvs -o +dev_size
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree DevSize
/dev/sda2 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 99.97G 0 100.00G
/dev/sda3 VolGroup01 lvm2 a- 3.09T 2.05T 1.09T
So my question is, how do I fix this? I'm running the most current
(CentOS 5.2) versions of Device-Mapper and LVM and Kernel:
lvm2-2.02.32-4.el5_2.1
lvm2-cluster-2.02.32-4.el5
device-mapper-1.02.24-1.el5
device-mapper-event-1.02.24-1.el5
device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-17.el5
kernel-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5
Anyone have any ideas why pvs shows the DevSize of 1.09TB?
