[lvm-devel] [PATCH 1 of 5] LVM RAID: down-convert activation clean-up

[Jonathan Brassow]

Down-convert should not activate sub-lv's between suspend/resume of top LV.

The sub-lv's being removed should not be activated between the suspend/resume
cycle of the top-level LV.  Removing this action however, causes "device
in-use" errors when attempting to deactivate/remove the sub-lv's.  The
solution then, is to call 'sync_local_dev_names' before deactivating the
sub-lv's.
