Actually, I'm more interested in the kernel LVM version. The tools have no
impact on how swappping works. Sorry I should have said. The first line of
/proc/lvm/global should tell you that.

Yes, I tried that. You should check that that when you do swapoff that the
device actually exists: and that the major/minor matches that of the device
when it was swapped on. I think /proc/swaps should tell you this.
