vzdump backup Failed

[manues50]

I have scheduled daily backups((CIFS)) for containers, today I got following error via mail

Hi,
this LVM (pve/snap_vm-200-disk-0_vzdump) is normally created for taking the snapshot and deleted afterwards. Is there another failed backup task in your Tasks log where the removal of that LVM failed? After removing the LVM the backup should work again, but please make sure that this LVM isn't something else.

same issue but I try to delete snapshot have this error:

root@pm2:~# lvremove /dev/pve/snap_vm-110-disk-1_vzdump
Logical volume pve/snap_vm-110-disk-1_vzdump contains a filesystem in use.

Hi,
does

lsof /dev/pve/snap_vm-110-disk-1_vzdump
fuser -vam /dev/pve/snap_vm-110-disk-1_vzdump

show anything? This should show you processes that are still accessing the volume. If a filesystem on this volume shows up with findmnt, please try unmounting it before doing lvremove.

Thank you very much for your help.

I just entered the server again and it doesn't show:

/dev/pve/snap_vm-110-disk-1_vzdump

It disappeared ... it was surely used by a process that ended.

Thank you very much for your help as well.
