Re: Can't remove LVM swap device

Hi,

I have to replace a disk that contains a lvm volume group with a logical partition previously used as swap device (dev/vg01/swap).

I replaced the swap partition with another one, changed /etc/fstab and removed the uswsusp package since I noticed that there was an entry for /dev/vg01/swap in uswsusp.conf.

Still I can't remove the old lvm swap partition. Seems, someone is still sitting on the old swap device, but I can't find out, who.

groucho:~# lvremove -f /dev/vg01/swap
Can't remove open logical volume "swap"

groucho:~# grep swap /etc/fstab
/dev/mapper/vg00-swap none swap sw 0 0

groucho:~# cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/mapper/vg00-swap partition 2097144 179624 -1
