Bug#549691: failure removing snapshot volumes

[Timm Essigke]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.62-1
Severity: critical


Hi,

I have the same problem as described in message #27.

I create snapshots by a script triggered by bacula, then run the backup 
on the snapshots and remove them by another script triggered by bacula. 
Removing some (!) snapshots fails on all ca. 25 computers running 
squeeze in my network. Several attempts of lvremove allow to remove some 
of the remaining snapshots. It seems to help to delete 
/etc/lvm/cache/.cache before lvremove. Some computers (servers with many 
KVM machines!) I had to reboot from rescue CD to get rid of the snapshots.

For my backup system this bug is a total show stopper!

Regarding message #32 I don't use UUIDs in fstab
Regarding message #37 I don't snapshot swap

Please help!

Timm
