Note - you cannot 'remove' mappings 'in-use'  (aka open count of a device
is higher then 0  - see 'dmsetup info -c' output for this).
However you can replace such mapping with 'error' target - so the
underlaying device is relaxed - although we do not support this
in lvm2 - you would need to use 'dmsetup' for this (and open lvm2 RFE
if there would be some serious justifaction).

Not related to oVirt, but I would find a means to set an error target with LVM quite useful - think about immediately stopping IO to/from device in case some serious error happended. Using lvm rather than dmsetup would be easier and less error prone.

Hi

ATM skilled admin can always easily enforce:

'dmsetup remove --force   vg-lv'

for i.e. linear devices to achieve this goal - however resolving this at lvm2 is actually way more complex task when you start to consider the situation
should be at least 'somehow' recoverable - it's quite complicated and
not really highly demanded functionality.
It's more simple if you have constrained world of known types of devices
and known use-case you are targeting to solve.
