We were seeing entries like this in /var/log/messages in May of this year. It was not LVM related: I used lsof to see which files were open in the original logical volume. MySQL was keeping an inode for a rotated log file; once I added 'mysqladmin flush-logs' to logrotated, the problem went away. You should use lsof to see which files are open on your logical volume. Perhaps you are having a similar issue. On Wed, 8 Dec 2004 16:32:12 +0100 "EC" <wingman@waika9.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to use the snapshots as indicated in the LVM HOWTO.
