Public bug reported:

When holland lvm fails due to an invalid snapshot, there is logic to
detect this and provide a helpful error message on what happened.
However, holland is only checking for an 'S' lv_attr - which is
questionable logic by itself.  On RHEL6 (and probably rhel5.7+ at
least), invalid snapshot should have the "I" ((I)nvalid snapshot)
generally rather than the "S" (invalid (S)uspended snapshot) flag.

Additionally holland should be specifically checking the 5th lv_attr bit
rather than searching anywhere in the lv_attr string.
