'service clvmd stop' fails and subsequent lvm commands hang in RHEL 5 Update 10

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • If I issue a 'service clvmd stop', it fails and lvm commands after that block forever:
# service clvmd stop
Deactivating clustered VG(s):   0 logical volume(s) in volume group "clust" now active
                                                           [  OK  ]
Signaling clvmd to exit                                    [  OK  ]
Waiting for clvmd to exit:                                 [FAILED]
