Hi, I removed a bunch of no longer required logical volumes from lvm, using lvremove (mostly with -f option to save answering every time when I was already sure it was right).
The symlinks remain in /dev/mapper /and /dev/vgname/ for them.
Having since created a new logical volume, there is "confusion" as to
what is displayed using df when I mount the new file system that is
contained within the new logical volume.
# ls -lart /dev/mapper/*|grep dm-5$
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Mar 11 14:25 /dev/mapper/vgname-old-lv ->
../dm-5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 3 11:56 /dev/mapper/vgname-new-lv ->
../dm-5
Only the latter one is valid now.
The old lv has been removed, the old sym links remain in ....
Okay, this /sort of/ fixed it:
vgscan --mknodes
- it still leaves behind old orphaned sym links,
but all the current in use ones seem to be okay.
