Hi Gionatan,
The system with the issue is with writeback cache mode enabled.
Best regards,
Ryan

It is my understanding that a writethrough cache should *never* have any
data that are not on the backing volumes already.
In other words, forcibly removing a writethough cache (ie: disconnetting
the physical cache device) should not cause any harms to
filesystem/data.
Can you show the output of "dmsetup table"?
Thanks.
