I'm unable to merge a lvm snapshot
# lvconvert --merge vg0/lv-malte
Snapshot lv-malte has virtual origin.
This is what my volumes look like
# lvs -a
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert0.00
lv-malte vg0 swi-a-s--- 12.00g [lv-malte_vorigin] 63.58
[lv-malte_vorigin] vg0 owi-aos--- 102.54g
lvroot vg0 -wi-ao---- 100.00g
[...]
I'm stumped, what is a virtual origin? I didn't find the expression in the LVM man pages and google does not bring up anything useful either. How do I merge the snapshot and get rid of the virtual origin altogether?
