Title:
  root on dm-cache : always do full resync after reboot

Status in lvm2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I added an SSD drive and convert my LVs to cached LVs :

  # pvs
    PV         VG      Fmt  Attr PSize  PFree
    /dev/sda6  vg_acer lvm2 a--  90,00g 6,00g      <= rotational drive
    /dev/sda7          lvm2 ---   9,46g 9,46g    
    /dev/sdb   vg_acer lvm2 a--  29,50g 4,95g    <= SSD drive

  # lvs
    LV        VG      Attr       LSize  Pool           Origin            Data%  Meta%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
    lv_docker vg_acer Cwi-aoC---  7,00g [cache_docker] [lv_docker_corig] 100,00 6,35            0,00            
    lv_home   vg_acer Cwi-aoC--- 60,00g [cache_home]   [lv_home_corig]   11,06  19,24           0,03            
    lv_root   vg_acer Cwi-aoC--- 14,00g [cache_root]   [lv_root_corig]   100,00 9,73            0,00            
    lv_swap   vg_acer -wi-ao----  3,00g                                                                         

  # mount | grep mapper
  /dev/mapper/vg_acer-lv_root on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)
  /dev/mapper/vg_acer-lv_home on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
  /dev/mapper/vg_acer-lv_docker on /var/lib/docker type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)


  The problem is : after each boot, the system does a full resync of the
  lv_root LV :

  # lvs -o+cache_dirty_blocks,cache_read_hits,cache_read_misses,cache_write_hits,cache_write_misses        
    LV        VG      Attr       LSize  Pool           Origin            Data%  Meta%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert CacheDirtyBlocks CacheReadHits    CacheReadMisses  CacheWriteHits   CacheWriteMisses
    lv_docker vg_acer Cwi-aoC---  7,00g [cache_docker] [lv_docker_corig] 100,00 6,35            0,19                           78           605182          1144143           200214           516198
    lv_home   vg_acer Cwi-aoC--- 60,00g [cache_home]   [lv_home_corig]   11,05  19,24           0,12                           34           334339           238365           656695           352970
    lv_root   vg_acer Cwi-aoC--- 14,00g [cache_root]   [lv_root_corig]   100,00 9,73            90,38                       88844            32320            44223             1508             2924
    lv_swap   vg_acer -wi-ao----  3,00g                                                                                                                                                              

  
  The problem only occurs on lv_root, which is the root filesystem. lv_home and lv_docker seem to be OK after boot.

  I guess this might be related to this message I get on shutdown :
     Systemd-shutdown: Failed to finalize DM devices, ignoring.
