Hi all, I don't seem to be able to remove snapshots unless I first deactivate the snapshot target. Indeed, trying to do brings about a situation where a reboot is required. I run the command as follows: ~# lvremove /dev/VolGroup01/backup_vol_snap Do you really want to remove active logical volume "backup_vol_snap"? [y/n]: If I answer no, ok, I return to my prompt. If I answer yes, the command sits there forever, cannot be killed, and I must reboot my PC before I can run any further LVM commands. E.g., lvdisplay will block when trying to display details about backup_vol and backup_vol_snap but does display info about logical volumes inside a different volume group. Any command operating on VolGroup01 will block indefinitely. This is a Debian Sarge box, running a vanilla 2.6.17 kernel. lvm packages: ii lvm-common 1.5.17 The Logical Volume Manager for Linux ii lvm2 2.01.04-5 The Linux Logical Volume Manager ii dmsetup 1.01.00-4 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper ii libdevmapper1. 1.01.00-4 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper ~# lvm version LVM version: 2.01.04 (2005-02-09) Library version: 1.01.00-ioctl (2005-01-17) Driver version: 4.6.0 I can deactivate the snapshot target first, remove the snapshot and reactivate -- thats fine for now, but inconvenient: # take backup lv offline lvchange -an /dev/VolGroup01/backup_vol #delete snapshot lvremove /dev/VolGroup01/backup_vol_snap #reactivate backup vol lvchange -ay /dev/VolGroup01/backup_vol Any ideas on this? Thanks.
