That looks like a snapshot volume that became invalid because it was filled to capacity. Such a snapshot is lost forever. It si your responsibility to monitor snapshot usage to make sure it does not run out of space. The base volume, lv-vm-tviewer_vorigin, should still have its original content.
That's it. Thanks for the information.
How would I remove the only the snapshot but not the base volume? Will
$ lvremove /dev/vg0/lv-vm-tviewer
leave the base volume untouched?
That should do it. You will get one less warning if you deactivate that LV first: lvchange -an vg0/lv-vm-tviewer
You will still get an overly alarmist warning that removing the snapshot LV will change the source LV. Don't worry about it. The only "change" is that the source LV will no longer be flagged as a snapshot origin.
I should add, you may have to re-activate that base LV: lvchange -ay vg0/lv-vm-tviewer_vorigin
