Could someone pls give me some hints to verify the "open" value ?
Thanks

Thank you very much Zdenek.
I will suggest the customer a kernel update.

Hi Zdenek,
Thanks for your feedback.
The kernel version is:
[root@panoramix ~]# uname -a
Linux panoramix.ch-perrens.fr 2.6.32-573.12.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue
Dec 15 21:19:08 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Hi
So this is really a very historical kernel - released ~10 years back.
I'm afraid none is going to look out for the reasoning of any kernel
bug....
It might be interesting to see if you get any reproducer to give you
hints
how to avoid this happen (at least not easily).
Jul 2 03:08:10 panoramix LVM(pri_ISCSIVG0_vg_obm)[18618]: INFO:
Retry deactivating volume group vg_obm
This is why I am trying to understand how the field is computed.
Simple rule applied here: DM devices in use (open_count > 0) cannot
be deactivated.
Occasionally there were 'race events' with udev - where device
which should have been otherwise unused has been asynchronously
opened by udev scanning rules - but that's like is not your case.
As you seems to have device open count higher permanently -
So if you are sure there is no running 'APP' after umount, that
keeps device open - it could be likely be some very old bug in kernel
with very high probably 99.99999% of being fixed ;)
Regards
Zdenek
