[linux-lvm] /dev/dm-31 no longer valid...

[Ross Boylan]

I have been using snapshotting before backup without incident, but this
morning got errors in the cleanup job that deletes the snapshots.  It
looks as if I successfully accessed and deleted one volume and then, as
I was moving to the next, got an error about the first volume.  Then the
next volume was also successfully deleted.

Can anyone tell me what's going on?

Thanks.
