I am seeing something similar, did you ever get a resolution to your problem ? I unmount my snapshot first and then do the lvremove. I am running and older version of 2.6.10 Thanks Chris Kottaridis Senior Engineer Wind River Systems 719-522-9786 -----Original Message----- From: linux-lvm-bounces@redhat.com [mailto:linux-lvm-bounces@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Dominik Epple Sent: Friday, March 30, 2007 2:28 AM To: linux-lvm@redhat.com Subject: Problems removing snapshots Hi list, I have two snapshot volumes: # lvs LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Copy% home lvm_share owi-ao 44.00G mail lvm_share owi-ao 4.00G snap_home lvm_share swi-a- 6.00G home 63.72 snap_mail lvm_share swi-a- 1.00G mail 23.68 When I try to remove one of them... # lvremove -d -v /dev/lvm_share/snap_mail Using logical volume(s) on command line Do you really want to remove active logical volume "snap_mail"? [y/n]: y Archiving volume group "lvm_share" metadata. Found volume group "lvm_share" Loading lvm_share-mail-real Loading lvm_share-snap_mail-cow Loading lvm_share-snap_mail ... it seems to take forever (at least it does not complete within minutes), and the load of the machine goes up very high (larger than 10, and still increasing), and finally, I need to reboot the machine with the reset button. How can I get rid of my snapshots? The system is debian sarge on amd64 with a custom kernel and standard debian packages of lvm etc. # uname -a Linux hostname 2.6.18.3-k8-smp #1 SMP Wed Nov 22 11:58:25 CET 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux Thanks, Dominik. -- PGP Public Key and contact information available at http://www.tphys.physik.uni-tuebingen.de/tplist/phonelist.py?uid=epple _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
