Package: lvm2 Version: 2.02.62-1 Severity: normal
I'm seeing the same problem trying to remove a snapshot volume. It is not mounted, but it can't be removed: ~# lvremove /dev/lizzie/var_backup Can't remove open logical volume "var_backup" ~# lvchange -a n /dev/lizzie/var_backup Can't change snapshot logical volume "var_backup" ~# mount /dev/mapper/lizzie-root on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/sda3 on /boot type ext3 (rw) /dev/mapper/lizzie-home on /home type ext3 (rw) /dev/mapper/lizzie-usr on /usr type ext3 (rw) /dev/mapper/lizzie-var on /var type ext3 (rw) none on /tmp type tmpfs (rw) Eventually, I noticed that after a suspend / resume cycle, mount now shows that the snapshot volume is mounted where the original should be: ~# mount /dev/mapper/lizzie-root_backup on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/sda3 on /boot type ext3 (rw) /dev/mapper/lizzie-home on /home type ext3 (rw) /dev/mapper/lizzie-usr on /usr type ext3 (rw) /dev/mapper/lizzie-var_backup on /var type ext3 (rw) none on /tmp type tmpfs (rw) [Note that root / root_backup is now messed up, too.] What on earth is going wrong here? How is the snapshot usurping the place of the origin volume? And I have no idea what the trigger is. This doesn't generally happen - I've seen it once before, and now again, after using this backup system for several months. The last time, I resolved the problem by going to runlevel 1 and remounting correctly, and then returning to runlevel 2. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34-rc2-lizzie-00052-gae6be51 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lvm2 depends on: ii dmsetup 2:1.02.45-1 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.45-1 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip lvm2 recommends no packages. lvm2 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
