I just wanted to deactivate a volume group - I used:
vgchange -a n volume_group
Unfortunately, it didn't work and it seems frozen - the command is still
being executed, and is in "D" state.
Any other LVM command (lvs etc.) freezes as well (D state), adding +1 to
the system load average.
This is what happens when I start lvs with verbose/debug parameters:
# lvs -vvvv -dddd
#lvmcmdline.c:871 Processing: lvs -vvvv -dddd
#lvmcmdline.c:874 O_DIRECT will be used

And it stays there.
Any clues how to unblock it?
If it is important, some other kernel thread (drbd0_worker from DRBD)
is/was accessing that volume group when I started that command.
