Well yes - it shows the device is being held open - lvm2 retries to several 
times if the device does not get close - but it doesn't so it refuses o 
deactivate.

So if you are sure there is no user - then maybe you have some kpartx 
partition this device ?

I'd probably need to see your whole 'dmsetup table'
(at least do a grep for VG_AAA_TEMP/LV_AAA_TEMP minor)
