Problem affects removal attempt of a snapshot made from an mirrored lv.
After removal attempt, all lv commands lock up, the rest of the system
is operational, however a reboot is needed to free the lv commands and
allow for the completion of the lv snapshot removal. (After reboot the
lv is no longer a snapshot)
Here is a work around:
We need to do a dmsetup remove followed by lvremove twice:
lvcreate -L512M -s -n snapshotlv /dev/vgname/lvm-disk
Logical volume "snapshot" created
dmsetup remove /dev/vgname/lvm-disk
lvremove -f vgname/snapshotlv
Unable to deactivate open /vgname-lvm--disk--real (253:155)
Failed to resume lvm-disk.
lvremove -f vgname/snapshotlv
Logical volume "snapshotlv" successfully removed
I am a little concerned about the "Failed to resume lvm-disk." but I
could not find any evidence that this was indeed the case, and even if
it was, this state would last only a few ms.
