Hi,
i assume your lvm problem is caused by an overeager udev configuration
which sets up device entries for partitions _inside_ the lv as well as for
the lv itself.
try to
# kpartx -d /dev/yourvg/yourlv
to release these mapper entries before lvremove the lv.
if you renamed this lv, you need to check and re-assign /dev/mapper entries
manually before you're able to remove the entries.
when you're done, check for updated udev and/or lvm packages for your distro.
cheers,
Stephan

Hi...
I have had a problem when I am going to detach one specific LVM 
partitions of Xen, so I have been trying xm destroy <domain>, lvchange 
-an <lvm_partition>, lvremove -f.... So I haven't had sucess. I 
restarted the server with init 1 yet and nothing... I have seem two 
specific process started xenwatch and xenbus, but I am not sure if this 
processes have some action over LVM partitions + XEN. 
I need to know how can I remove this partition to build another xen VM, 
an if  I need to stop the xend and xendomais services to do the detachment.
 
Thanks so much!!!!
