That's it. Thanks for the information.

How would I remove the only the snapshot but not the base volume? Will

$ lvremove /dev/vg0/lv-vm-tviewer

leave the base volume untouched?

That should do it. You will get one less warning if you deactivate that LV first:
     lvchange -an vg0/lv-vm-tviewer

You will still get an overly alarmist warning that removing the snapshot LV will change the source LV. Don't worry about it. The only "change" is that the source LV will no longer be flagged as a snapshot origin.

I should add, you may have to re-activate that base LV:
     lvchange -ay vg0/lv-vm-tviewer_vorigin
