As you can see, lvm doesn't even show the device but it is still under |
| 75 |
/dev as tho it is available. Weird. |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
I found this but at the end, the command doesn't help me. I'm not sure |
| 78 |
why. It does talk about using LUKS on top of LVM causing this problem. |
| 79 |
Since the fix doesn't work, is this a different problem?? |

I've tried every command I can find and it still shows busy. I even |
| 86 |
restarted udev and lvm. Still busy. |

Ideas? |
