It seems it is not related to system-config-lvm. system-config-lvm
relies on lvm2 and since I have problems with that I would say lvm2 is
closer to the source of the problem. When I try to lvremove a snapshot I
get:

# lvremove -v -d /dev/mapper/vg01-log--snap
  Using logical volume(s) on command line
  Can't remove open logical volume "log-snap"

There is a thread which recommends to switch of udev to avoid some udev
rules to interfere with lvm
(http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20090809.233140.2de7ebec.de.html)
but I haven't been successful with it. On the other hand I'm not that
familiar with udev.

On my notebook it was possible to remove the snapshot after a reboot.
This would not be useful with a server :-(.

Here are some versions which could be helpful:

kernel: 2.6.28-15-generic lvm2: 2.02.39-0ubuntu9
kernel: 2.6.31-6-server (from karmic) lvm2: 2.02.39-0ubuntu9

** Tags added: lvm snapshot

** Summary changed:
