[dm-devel] Cannot delete lvm thin volume

[Nikolay Borisov]

Hello I have the following thin volume, which I'd like to delete:

lvdisplay -v /dev/coregroup/c13537_2k
    Using logical volume(s) on command line.

dmsetup status
coregroup-c13537_2k: 0 3865051136 thin 1627684864 3865042943

The version of the software is:
lvremove --version
  LVM version:     2.02.118(2)-RHEL6 (2015-09-08)
  Library version: 1.02.95-RHEL6 (2015-09-08)
  Driver version:  4.26.0

And the kernel is 3.12.47.

When I run 'lvremove -f /dev/coregroup/c13537_2k' I get the following
error: Logical volume coregroup/c13537_2k contains a filesystem in use.
I also get the same error when I try to deactivate the volume.

fuser doesn't report anything and the volume is not mounted anywhere. I
have also acquired an ftrace trace from executing lvremove but there are
multiple invocation of the dm_ioctl function and I'm not sure which one
is the relevant. So if you tell me what information in particular you
need I'd post it here.

Regards,
Nikolay
