Shouldn't be needed.  You can resize the lvol while it's mounted.  Your 
symptoms below look like the vg metadata may be out of sync.  Are you 
performing a pvmove or other LVM operations?

Interesting....  You gave tons of other output below, but what would be really 
helpful is a vgdisplay -v vg and an lvdisplay vg/backup.  You also asked 
about removing vg/usr, however that lv only shows up in dmsetup table.

Is there a snapshot being taken?  Is there an active snapshot volume?  Sounds 
like the volume group is actually locked right now.
