It is open. lvchange -an says LV in use: not removing but I'm drawing a blank on finding anything that is actually using it. I'm kinda hoping someone can throw some light on what 'open' is here. > Some sub-lvs are marked as 'open', because they are used by the main LV > (such is the case with mirroring and snapshots). no mirrors, no snapshots :-( I have looked through /etc/lvm/backups and can't see anything odd. > Have you tried 'lsof ' ? yup, tried lsof, tried fuser, there is no nfs, got nowhere. It's one of those things where I fully expect to have to say "d'oh sorry!", but until I can get deeper into it I am really stumped. > On Oct 9, 2006, at 1:58 PM, paddy wrote: > > > > >I just noticed that I have a system where an LV appears to be open > >(as given by lvs), but I can't see it mounted anywhere, or opened > >by any process. > > > >Any insights, suggestions, explanations, etc gratefully received :-) Regards, Paddy -- Perl 6 will give you the big knob. -- Larry Wall
