Re: snapshots can't be deactivated

Hello,

I got some more debug output from the lvchange command.
I noticed, that sometimes lvchange -an vg0/daily-snap-opt worked and after that I was able to really remove the snapshot.

But most of the times it doesn't work. It seems that system need several minutes do free the snapshot because when I wait some minutes an retry, I can deactivate and remove the snapshot to reuse the name.

Unfortunatly these debug messages doesn't give me a clue why the snapshot can't be deactivated.

Perhaps the command produces an errorlevel that you could test against,
and only continue when you get the expected error ?
