Hi.
I have noticed that if a thick snapshot device is created
# /sbin/lvcreate --size size --snapshot --name snap /dev/system/lvname
And later removed
# /sbin/lvremove system/lvname
Than the symbolic link files under /dev/mapper/ is not removed
This is applicable on RHEL7 and sometimes on RHEL6.
Is this a known bug?
Or why is the links still there?

It's been known to me, and I mentioned it a few-several years
back.
I use dmsetup to remove those extra partitions after ensuring they
are no longer active.
