If you changed everything to the original io paths, that shouldn't
be the case :(
Anyway: LVM1 stores the physical addresses of snapshot exceptions
LVM2 is smarter ITR stroing logical addresses so that you can relocate drives
to different io paths without any problems.
If you are back to your _original_ paths and don't get your VG with snapshots
in up agian, you might need to run "vgscan -r" to remove the snapshots.
"vgscan -r" or "vgscan -remove_snapshots" is supported in LVM1 since LVM 1.0.3.
