This probably is a snapshot issue locking up somewhere. I've been misled in the number of lv's created for this snapshot, the "snapshot", "-cow" and "-real" where I've misinterpreted the last as a LV genuinely defined by me somewhere in the past.
The snapshot was readable, (did not test writing). After removing the snapshot the system went back into proper (boot) operation. The snapshot was taken before upgrading many KVM clients to a new distro-version. The snapshot was as large as the origin, thus no limits on the snapshot size. I've also discovered I had a heat-problem on the cpu (dust build-up). If this bug is cancelled with that in mind I will not object.

Only then I can finalize the boot process. Subsequent (all) boots I have to intervene. lvdisplay fails to show one logical volume, which is shown under /dev/mapper. This volume is not used, just contained some offline data. I also had an unplanned reboot a few days ago on the machine without having it under a load. The lost LV was not in use at that time (has not been mounted for a long time). I've got one snapshot defined, which acts as a mirror (LV Size same as origin), with only 4.31 % allocated to that snapshot. When viewing the system with a live desktop only the 'cow' LV is shown under /dev/mapper, none of the other LV's. Why is this unused LV lost? The data on the 'lost' LV is not needed at the moment. I'll leave things 'as is' for the moment for investigation.
