LVM Funnies when removing

Hello,

I run a bacula backup system and have some scripts that automatically create an lvm snapshot of /var/lib/vz prior to backup.


Since the update to version two....

I get this error when I unmount the snapshot:

--
Attempt 1
Unable to deactivate open pve-data-real (253:4)
Failed to resume data.

Attempt 2
Logical volume "pve-data-snap" successfully removed
--

It seems that lvm remove is trying to copy the data to the old volume?

In each case my lvm commands are:

Mount
lvm lvcreate --size 2G --snapshot --name pve-data-snap /dev/pve/data
mount -o ro /dev/pve/pve-data-snap /var/lib/vz.snapshot

Unmount
umount /var/lib/vz.snapshot
lvremove -f /dev/pve/pve-data-snap

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Last night removing the volume caused all the VM's to hang!

I am on the very latest updates.

apt-get update;apt-get dist-upgrade

Worth noting...

These same boxes have been experincing some issues with disk io soft locking up. If you so much as run a dd to create a file.. they just slow down and crash!

Currently they are running raid 10 with a lsi megaraid 9640 sata controller

I am changing one of the boxes to the 9660 with 512MB cache today. Hopefully that will help!!


But to be honest.. no idea! I am thinking at the moment there is some weird kernel issue.

At least not only me :)

Seems it is an issue in the redhat tree.
