The partition maps were apparently created with kpartx's "-p p" option to force a partition separator of 'p' (the default is to use a 'p' if the device name ends with a numeral but no separator otherwise). If the maps were created with -pp kpartx will refuse to remove them if the option is not given (but helpfully doesn't report any error.. :-/): # ls /dev/mapper/vg_mother-lv_base* /dev/mapper/vg_mother-lv_base /dev/mapper/vg_mother-lv_basep1 # kpartx -d /dev/mapper/vg_mother-lv_base # ls /dev/mapper/vg_mother-lv_base* /dev/mapper/vg_mother-lv_base /dev/mapper/vg_mother-lv_basep1 # kpartx -d -pp /dev/mapper/vg_mother-lv_base # ls /dev/mapper/vg_mother-lv_base* /dev/mapper/vg_mother-lv_base Just add the -pp to your kpartx command lines and it should remove the devices.
