script I use to backup my system is the following:

logrotate -v -f /etc/logrotate.conf

So, the snaphot is clearly unmounted before I try to remove it. But I
can almost never remove the snaphot. In fact, I have noticed that if I
don't use the "-f" option, I can remove the snapshot but it always fails
if I use it. But, I would like to use my script without any confirmation
message.
