I tried several ways, formatted the lv with mke2fs, switched to single
user, rebooted, and there is just no way to get this particular
logical volume inactive. The strange thing is, there is no problem
with the other lv on the same vg, that can be activated right away.
But this one:
# lvchange -an /dev/vg_md0/swap
LV vg_md0/swap in use: not deactivating
What uses is? It is no longer swap, I even changed my fstab from
LABELs to drives.
So what now?
