Hi Kashyap, thanks for all the extra work and effort on this. It appears that there's an unexpected response from the create call on your setup (possibly Fedora 19 related), so what happens is the driver interprets the call to lvcreate as NOT succeeding and it issues the retry. The problem is that the lvcreate command actually was succesful, so the subsequent retry gets a *real* error of "logical volume already exists".

I'm wondering if you could look a bit further up in the logs and see the logged error for the first call to lvcreate? Our answer is likely there, and it may be that Fedora 19 is reporting something unique in it's response that we're not handling correctly, or there's some other error that we're not accounting for and we don't realize we shouldn't retry on.
