Hi all

I'm testing a recovery scenario for a NAS server which uses an SSD as
a PV for the LVM cache (dm-cache).
When I remove the SSD and try to uncache the LV I get this:

  [root@storage ~]# lvconvert -v --force --uncache /dev/total_storage/test
   WARNING: Device for PV yJvPgB-aPlc-wFG2-DL9U-MOKI-2F93-XlzHyf not
found or rejected by a filter.
     There are 1 physical volumes missing.
   Cannot change VG total_storage while PVs are missing.
   Consider vgreduce --removemissing.
     There are 1 physical volumes missing.

[root@storage ~]# vgreduce -v --force --removemissing total_storage
     Finding volume group "total_storage"

vgreduce gets stuck at the last step: /usr/sbin/cache_check

If I run cache_check manually I get this:

[root@storage ~]# /usr/sbin/cache_check
/dev/mapper/total_storage-cache_pool00_cmeta
examining superblock
   superblock is corrupt
     incomplete io for block 0, e.res = 18446744073709551611, e.res2 =
0, offset = 0, nbytes = 4096

and it waits indefinitely.

If a replace the /usr/sbin/cache_check with a shell script that returns 0 or 1
vgreduce just errors out. It seems that there is no way to uncache the
LV without
replacing the missing PV (which could pose a problem in production use).
The origin LV (test_corig) is fine, I can mount it and use it, there
are no file-system issues etc.

Is this an intended behaviour or a bug?

It's unhandled yet scenario.
