Hi
Merging can ONLY start when devices are not in-use - so if you've issued merge
command while devices were still opened - the 'merge' operation has
been just committed into lvm2 metadata and the actual merge would normally
happen/start with next activation of the merged LV.
You can invoke it also by issuing 'lvchange --refresh' which may start to
merging (if the conditions do allow the operation to start).
Regard
Zdenek
