Stopping udev before lvremove, dmsetup remove before, lock the device with lockdev, tried to deactivate the snapshot before removing (which didn't work because then i also had to deactivate the root lv which is the source for the snapshot), stopped monitoring the snapshot, update of the complete system ... nothing succeeded. I have a SLES 12 SP4 with 4.12.14-95.13-default and lvm2-2.02.180-9.7.1.x86_64. I finally did a strace on the program: ... write(2, "Loading table for vg_local-lv_ro"..., 43Loading table for vg_local-lv_root (254:9).) = 43 write(2, "\n", 1 ) = 1 ioctl(3, DM_TABLE_STATUS, 0x563eacb00c80) = 0 ioctl(3, DM_TABLE_LOAD, 0x563eacb00c80) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) <======================================================== write(2, " ", 2 ) = 2 write(2, "device-mapper: reload ioctl on "..., 64device-mapper: reload ioctl on (254:9) failed: Invalid argument) = 64 write(2, "\n", 1 ) = 1 brk(0x563eacf92000) = 0x563eacf92000 write(2, " ", 2 ) = 2 write(2, "Failed to refresh lv_root withou"..., 43Failed to refresh lv_root without snapshot.) = 43 write(2, "\n", 1 ) = 1 This seems to be the culprit: ioctl(3, DM_TABLE_LOAD, 0x563eacb00c80) = -1 EINVAL fd 3 seems to be /dev/mapper/control. DM_TABLE_LOAD is defined in include/uapi/linux/dm-ioctl.h: #define DM_TABLE_LOAD _IOWR(DM_IOCTL, DM_TABLE_LOAD_CMD, struct dm_ioctl) And the memory adress is the same as the one used successfully one line before. Error -1 is, following man: EINVAL: request or argp is not valid In the manpage sys/ioctl.h is mentioned, but i don't find it in my sources. Any ideas ?
