Title: Re: Libvirt storage api and lvm .cache issue
Lvremove does not properly remove it from the .cache.  Perhaps that is the bug.  I’ll investigate more ( I’m using lvm2-2.02.46-8.el5).

-bash-3.2$ sudo cat /etc/lvm/cache/.cache  | grep tom
                "/dev/sys/tomtest2",
                "/dev/mapper/sys-tomtest2",
-bash-3.2$ sudo lvremove /dev/sys/tomtest2  
Do you really want to remove active logical volume tomtest2? [y/n]: y
  Logical volume "tomtest2" successfully removed
-bash-3.2$ sudo cat /etc/lvm/cache/.cache  | grep tom
                "/dev/sys/tomtest2",
                "/dev/mapper/sys-tomtest2",

Thanks
Tom

Not sure why this would happen. When deleting LV's in libvirt, we simply
call our to lvremove, which I assume would clear up .cache entries.
