Unable to extend LV

Hi all.

I have a Logical volume that I can't extend, with this error message:

Code:
server171:root:/root# lvextend -L +1024M -v /dev/aplic_vg/siteminderwa_lv
    Finding volume group aplic_vg
    Archiving volume group "aplic_vg" metadata (seqno 75).
  Extending logical volume siteminderwa_lv to 1.98 GB
    Found volume group "aplic_vg"
    Found volume group "aplic_vg"
    Loading aplic_vg-siteminderwa_lv table (253:40)
  device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
  Failed to suspend siteminderwa_lv
    Creating volume group backup "/etc/lvm/backup/aplic_vg" (seqno 76).

Any idea about which could be the root cause?
