Hi, I'm still having trouble removing my snapshot volumes. I recalled that my fstab mounts are based on UUID, which are identical for the origin and the snapshot (so much for unique ;)), so I switched to path based mounting, and so far I have not experienced the problem in exactly the original form (although it only happened occasionally anyway, so there's nothing conclusive here).
But I'm still having trouble with snapshot removal. I'm using rsnapshot's lvm integration: the utility creates a snapshot, mounts it, does a rsync based backup of the snapshot, umounts the snapshot and then removes it. But rsnapshot keeps bailing, claiming that the snapshot can't be removed. When I try to remove it manually, I get the "Can't remove open logical volume" error. I generally find that after waiting a few minutes and trying again, it works. It isn't mounted anymore, so why isn't it going away the first time(s)?
