Hi there,

I'm using lvm-0.9.1-beta3 on RH7.0 with kernel 2.4.0 and devfs. Everything works fine so far, but I get strange messages on shutdown.

I placed "/sbin/vgchange -a n" in /etc/init.d/halt right after unmounting filesystems. But I get a message like "Cannot deactivate volume group with open logical volumes". I then added some "/sbin/lvchange -a n [LogicalVolumePath]" for each lv before the the vgchange call. Then I get some "operation not permitted on (open) logical volume" messages.

Does anybody have a working solution?

Thanx...

Dirk

My guess is that something still has a file open on one of the LVs so it can't be unmounted by umount -a. Put a ps -ef in the script just before the lvchange and see if you can see anything.
