[SOLVED] Unable to delete volumes in LVM no SAN over iSCSI

[Oldsocks]

Updae: one of the cluster members was somehow holding that file open, once I forced a reboot I was able to delete it. I now have new problems, naturally, but this is no longer one of them.

Hello,

I am sleep deprived so please bear with me.

In additon to sudden mysterious performance trouble, I am having great difficulty deleting a guest's drive. I initiall migrated between hosts and then deleted the VM, leaving me with orphans. When I try to remove the orpon, an error message appears:

error during cfs-locked 'storage-biglvm' operation: can't activate LV 'VMData/vm-106-disk-0' to zero-out its data: device-mapper: create ioctl on VMData-vm--106--disk--0 LVM-WApeYdWby3f0w7UYZiNgXpnzSMvxRpuB5KIMtTvir6uRIG2xgP42fNPLVlf1bbEn failed: Device or resource busy

I am at a bit of a loss as to how to proceed. I'll keep looking but hopefully someone here knows how to get my space back! Similar threads have asked for the output of vgdisplay and lvs; here they are:
