[lvm-devel] Deactivating volume with mounted snapshot

Hi
When you type
lvchange -ay volume, it activates the volume and all its snapshots
Now you mount one of the snapshots. And then, type:
lvchange -an volume
--- the result is, that the volume and all the snapshots except the
mounted one are deactivated. The mounted snapshot is still active.
It looks like a bug to me --- it was never indented to have some snapshots
active and some not. With snapshot merging, this would cause data
corruption on inactive snapshots (because they won't allocate new
exceptions). Is it OK to disable this condition?
