Let's say you have created a snapshot, you have used it and now you want to remove it. What you can do if you get the following message?
core:~# lvscan | grep mylv
ACTIVE Original '/dev/datavg/mylv' [2.00 GiB] inherit
ACTIVE Snapshot '/dev/datavg/snapmylv' [1.00 GiB] inherit
core:~# lvremove -f /dev/datavg/snapmylv
[color=red]Can't remove open logical volume "snapmylv"[/color]
One way is to ask dmsetup
for help:
dmsetupcore:~# [color=green]dmsetup -f remove /dev/mapper/datavg-snapmylv[/color]
core:~# [color=green]dmsetup -f remove /dev/mapper/datavg-snapmylv-cow[/color]
core:~# [color=green]lvremove -f /dev/datavg/snapmylv[/color]
Logical volume "snapmylv" successfully removed
core:~# lvscan | grep mylv
ACTIVE '/dev/datavg/mylv' [2.00 GiB] inherit
If I will find other ways, I will write here. DONE!
