Something has them open. My guess is the Linux lvm geom provider opens too
many things. It's been standard geom behavior to remove the other device
aliases in /dev when one is open.
Though the problem may be in tasting during open since gpart list shows
them gone.

I'm in the process of moving my data from a dying HDD, and just noticed<br>
something weird. It's an MBR partitioned drive, and there is a FreeBSD<br>
slice and Fedora LVM in EBR, accessible as /dev/linux_lvm/fedora-{swap,home,root}.<br>
<br>
The problem is that once I mount my old FreeBSD partition, e.g.<br>
/dev/ada0s2a, those LVM nodes are gone, logging this:<br>
<br>
GEOM_LINUX_LVM: disk pv0 already initialised in fedora<br>
GEOM_LINUX_LVM: Disk diskid/DISK-XXXXXXX1s4+00000001 removed from pv0.<br>

GEOM_LINUX_LVM: Device linux_lvm/fedora-home removed.<br>
GEOM_LINUX_LVM: Device linux_lvm/fedora-root removed.<br>
<br>
If I unmount /dev/ada0s2a and mount any Fedora's partition, then I can<br>
longer access other slices as there's only /dev/ada0 remains; ``gpart show''<br>
also does not list them, but only those under diskid/DISK-XXXXXXX1.<br>
