Hi,

I want to use snapshots for my backup script, but I have a strange problem:

# lvremove -f /dev/VG0/homesnap
Can't remove open logical volume "homesnap"

lsof/fuser don't show anything and it's not mounted. This happens if
roughly 50% of the cases and after that the creation of snapshots
sometimes also fails. If you have any idea what could be wrong please
tell me. Thanks.
