Unable to remove Volume
Hello,
While removing the Logical Volume i am getting below message
#lvremove /dev/myvg/myvol
Can't remove open logical volume
then i tried..
#dmsetup info -c /dev/myvg/myvol
Name Maj Min Stat Open Targ Event UUID
myvg-myvol 253 5 L--w 1 1 0 LVM-Q9kPfNDXzG5mBFsvrRlXXH
# dmsetup remove --force /dev/myvg/myvol
device-mapper: resume ioctl failed: Invalid argument
device-mapper: remove ioctl failed: Device or resource busy
I checked in /etc/mtab there is no entry for this but in /proc/mounts it contains entry for this concerned LV apart from this this device is not mounted anywhere in the system.. That i have checked..
Can someone help me in this ?

From dmsetup it looks like there is a partition in this LV (open status of 1), can you confirm and provide lvdisplay?
ASKER
In lvdisplay also the status of open is #1
Can you confirm if there is a partition in this LV?
ASKER
If I got u correctly... there is no partition and apart from this it is dm-5 and I had tried that also by removing but no success...
let me know if m understanding it wrong..

Have you tried to reboot the box?
ASKER
No not yet... having the same idea as reboot should release the lock on FS.. i will give it a try but any solution which i can try on fly will be more preferable..

There is indeed a lock on the FS but seems you have not include output on lsof/fuser (not that we do not trust you :) ), we will not able to verify now.
ASKER
I can paste it aswell need to search output of cmds in logs but believe me there was nothing

I believe rebooting the machine fixed the issue so http:#a40238673 is the solution and not http:#a40238706
Why assign only 200 points instead of the 500 that were in the question?
