This doesn't sound like a problem with LVM2. LVM2 just presents block
devices, and doesn't really have any concept of things at the filesystem
level. I may be incorrect, but I'd look more for something at the
filesystem level (unmount the filesystem and fsck it perhaps), or
perhaps a rogue process or cron job that has done this change on your
machine.
