Hi, I am on a basic CentOS 6 install (kernel-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 and lvm2-2.02.72-8.el6.x86_64) . I took an lvm snapshot of an lv (that contains my root fs). After erasing a few rpms I "reverted" my changes by doing an lvmconvert --merge back to the original. Since the root fs is mounted the merge is done the next time the lv is activated. I then rebooted my machine so that the merge would happen. After boot I can see the merge did happen but I still have the other dm devices vgroot-lvroot-real vgroot-snap and vgroot-snap-cow. Is it a bug that lvm is not cleaning up these devices? Note that doing the lvconvert --merge on an lv that is not mounted will result in the dm devices being removed and the snapshot lv being removed. Thanks for any help!
