How to determine when a merging is complete
===========================================
The snapshot-merge and snapshot status lines end with:
<sectors_allocated>/<total_sectors> <metadata_sectors>
Both <sectors_allocated> and <total_sectors> include both data and metadata.
During merging, the number of sectors allocated gets smaller and
smaller. Merging has finished when the number of sectors holding data
is zero, in other words <sectors_allocated> == <metadata_sectors>.
Here is a practical example (using a hybrid of lvm and dmsetup commands):
# lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
base volumeGroup owi-a- 4.00g
snap volumeGroup swi-a- 1.00g base 18.97
# dmsetup status volumeGroup-snap
0 8388608 snapshot 397896/2097152 1560
^^^^ metadata sectors
# lvconvert --merge -b volumeGroup/snap
Merging of volume snap started.
# lvs volumeGroup/snap
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
base volumeGroup Owi-a- 4.00g 17.23
# dmsetup status volumeGroup-base
0 8388608 snapshot-merge 281688/2097152 1104
# dmsetup status volumeGroup-base

# dmsetup status volumeGroup-base
0 8388608 snapshot-merge 16/2097152 16
Merging has finished.
