Not convinced it's a duplicate of 444563, but perhaps related. I have a script that creates snapshots of / and /var in succession, and often receive the same strange error message the reporter notes above:
lvcreate --size 4GB --snapshot --name root-snap-20091123b /dev/vg0/root Logical volume "root-snap-20091123b" created
lvcreate --size 16GB --snapshot --name var-snap-20091123b /dev/vg1/var Path /dev/ACTION=_change_ no longer valid for device(252,10) Logical volume "var-snap-20091123b" created
This is accompanied by "Invalid cross-device link" errors in syslog.
