Unable to deactivate logical volume "myvg-www2_snapshot" I am using: LVM version: 2.01.04 (2005-02-09) Library version: 1.01.00-ioctl (2005-01-17) Driver version: 4.3.0 or package names on sarge: lvm2 2.01.04-5 libdevmapper1.01 1.01.00-4 kernel 2.6.10 My lvm subsystem is now locked by an unkillable process. I think the only option is to reboot, but I have a lot of data in LVM volumes, and don't want to risk losing it. Has anyone else experienced these types of errors? Is there a bug fix for this? There do not appear to be any updated packages for debian sarge. I could install from source, if I know this is a known problem with a known fix. Thanks Paul
