Subject: [linux-lvm] Merged snapshot still present and throwing I/O errors
 after reboot (similar to bug #645488)

I created a snapshot of my root LVM partition and later merged the snapshot
back. Merge was performed normally on next boot (with percentages counting
down to 0). However, the snapshot volume was still present after merge and
could not be removed.

My symptoms were identical to the ones described in bug report #645488
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=645488), and the solution
mentioned in comment #6 worked for me too, allowing me to remove the ghost
snapshot.

However, I got the impression that this bug has already been fixed on
lvm2-2.02.82. Mine is lvm2-2.02.84-19.3.1 (on openSUSE 12.1 x86_64), and the
bug still manifests itself. Is this a known thing or should the bug be reopened?
