Can not remove Logical Volume, message "Logical volume contains a filesystem in use" returned
Issue
- Removing/deactivating a logical volume whose overlaying filesystem was a submount for a private mount fails on RHEL 7.2 and later.
- This behavior was not present in previous minor versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and is not present in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.8
- Messages state that the logical volume has an open filesystem, but there are no filesystems mounted from the logical volume.
Environment
Observed On
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (post 7.1)
- kernel-3.10.0-327.el7
- lvm2-2.02.130-5.el7
- device-mapper-1.02.107-5.el7
- lvmetad status has no bearing on the logical volume behavior.
