Can't delete "open" snapshots

Can't delete "open" snapshots

[ben]

Someone recently noted here that they have been having trouble deleting 
snapshots. I have been seeing the same behaviour with that latest CVS builds. 
I can create a snap, run "lvs", then try to delete the snapshot. Sometimes it 
will delete but more often lvremove complains the snap is "open" and refuses. 
If I rerun lvremove it will usually work eventually if I try several times. 
Oddly, running "lvs" after creating the snap seems to make it harder to 
delete.

Thank you.

I suppose this is the same as:

Can you try killing udev daemon temporarily with "killall udevd" and see
if you can reproduce? What distribution do you use?

Basically, we have problem supporting the "watch" rule, so you can also
try and see if that one is used somewhere 

  grep watch /lib/udev/rules.d/* /etc/udev/rules.d/*

(..most of the time it's the "watch" rule set in udisks' udev rules)

I removed 'udisk' and the problem seems to be gone. I am running
Debian unstable. Thank you.
