Actually Curtis, there have been a few reports of this upstream recently. It seems that some partitioning tool out there likes to start logical volumes on the very first sector following the previous logical volume, rather than leaving one or two sectors to hold the EBR, and instead locate the EBR for that volume somewhere else. libparted can't deal with this.

antoni helms, if you could add the output of fdisk -l that would help confirm that is the case here. Also if you can tell us what sort of partitioning tools you have been using to get the disk into this state that might be helpful.
