When I use "lvremove" I see that the involved "dm" are not deleted, but SUSPENDED:
[root@node2 ~]# lvremove -f /dev/vgtest01/snap20
Logical volume "snap20" successfully removed
[root@node2 ~]# dmsetup -vvv status vgtest01-snap20
dm version OF [16384]
dm status vgtest01-snap20 OF [16384]

In that situation if I execute any "lvm" command, those suspended "dm" are blocking any I/O activity, and the lvm command hangs for ever.
If, after or before, trying the command I resume them:
[root@node2 ~]# dmsetup resume vgtest01-snap20
[root@node2 ~]# dmsetup resume vgtest01-snap20-cow
It will be unblocked. The lvdisplay will work perfectly.
But, for some reason something is not consistent in "lvm". I am not able to create new snapshots:
[root@node2 ~]# lvcreate -s -L 20M -n snap30 /dev/vgtest01/lvtest-snap01
/dev/vgtest01/snap30: not found: device not cleared
Aborting. Failed to wipe snapshot exception store.
So, once here. Do someone know if this situation implies something critical? is there any way to solve it without restarting clvm ?
I will keep in it.
Thanks!
