Hi Zdenek,
Here's what I see with `sudo lvs -a`. (My snapshots are actually called `fresh` and `fresh2` not `mySnap`)
```
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
fresh centos Vwi---tz-k <1.46t pool00
fresh2 centos Vwi---tz-k <1.46t pool00 fresh
So these both LVs are snapshots (since they were created with s(k)ipped
activation - however 'fresh' LV cannot be merged anymore as it's origin is
already gone.
But 'lvconvert --merge centos/fresh2' should work - yet you need to
manually drop 'k' flag (via lvchange).
So to have 'working' merge - you have to see something in the 'Origin' field.
If the Origin field is already 'empty' you can't be merging such LV even when
it was originally created as 'snapshot'.
Also note that thin snapshot merging is nothing else then a bit more 'smart'
rename.
Zdenek
