EVMS registers the base name for the top working object of a volume if the object has its own device. However, EVMS engine fails to unregister such names when discarding volumes. This prevents some operation on volumes. The problem magnifies in cluster environments because rediscovery of CSM containers would fail to add volumes (discarded moments ago) back to the object tree, and the volumes would get deleted when committing changes. Rediscovery can be triggered by an operation as simple as changing the attributes of a CSM container. I added code to unregister the base name, and tested on my cluster.
