map in use - by what?
 

Hi

I wish to remove some mpath devices (which are in fact SAN storage)* from my server.

Previously LVM objects was built on top of these devices, but these have been removed via lvremove + vgremove + pvremove. lvs/vgs/pvs list nothing related to the underlying mpath devices.


I then commented out the relevant entries in /etc/multipath.conf and tried:

$ multipath -F
sossan4: map in use
ecfs1: map in use
sossan5: map in use

(sossan4/5 should now be removable, ecfs1 is still in use)


Also

# multipath -ll

Note the "Open Count" is 8 and not 0 !? How do i find out what is keeping these resources busy?

I am pretty sure a reboot would fix this, maybe even a brute force removal of the underlying sdX devices, but as this is a production system I would rather find the "right way"?


Versions:

# uname -a
Linux otsvm02 2.6.18-164.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 15:59:52 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)

# rpm -q device-mapper
device-mapper-1.02.32-1.el5
# dmsetup version
Library version:** 1.02.32 (2009-05-21)
Driver version:*** 4.11.5

Ideas?

Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,

analyzing "dmsetup ls --tree" for mapped device
dependencies should help you.
