Hi, I am on CentOS 6.2 (kernel-2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64.rpm, lvm2-2.02.87-6.el6.x86_64.rpm). I am seeing an issue similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=651007 where I still have snapshot lvs present after I merge them back into the origin devices. The steps are : - create snapshot - lvconvert --merge (on open lv so that the merge will happen on next reboot) - reboot - after reboot the lvs have been restored to original, but 'lvs -a' still shows snapshot lvs I was seeing many I/O errors during bootup like are shown in comment 13 of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=651402 . I disabled dmraid on bootup and I no longer get these errors but the snapshot lvs are still present after the merge has taken place. lvchange --refresh will clear up the snapshot lvs. I do notice that dracut is touching the lvs (the ones to be merged) early in the boot process: dracut: Scanning devices vda2 for LVM logical volumes vgroot/plat_root dracut: inactive Original '/dev/vgroot/plat_root' [1.00 GiB] inherit dracut: inactive Original '/dev/vgroot/plat_var' [1.00 GiB] inherit dracut: inactive Original '/dev/vgroot/plat_usr' [4.00 GiB] inherit dracut: inactive '/dev/vgroot/plat_tmp' [1.00 GiB] inherit EXT4-fs (dm-2): orphan cleanup on readonly fs EXT4-fs (dm-2): 1 orphan inode deleted EXT4-fs (dm-2): recovery complete EXT4-fs (dm-2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

Note: dracut version is dracut-004-256.el6.noarch.rpm Thanks for any help! _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
