Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: lvm2

Current dual-core amd64 hardy system:
# dpkg -l lvm2  dmsetup  | grep ^ii
ii  dmsetup                           2:1.02.20-2ubuntu2          The Linux 
Kernel Device Mapper userspace library
ii  lvm2                              2.02.26-1ubuntu9            The Linux 
Logical Volume Manager


The system makes 10 LVM snaphots for backups every other hour.  Occasionally I 
get messages like these in the syslog:

Jun  7 10:23:40 new kernel: [3666376.279740] device-mapper: ioctl: unable to 
remove open device linux-srv_mysql-real
...
Jun 13 02:23:35 new udevd-event[24254]: unlink_secure: 
chmod(/dev/mapper/linux-backup_var_spool-cow, 0000) failed: No such file or 
directory
...
Jun 17 00:23:44 new udevd-event[12412]: unlink_secure: 
chown(/dev/mapper/linux-backup_srv_mysql-cow, 0, 0) failed: No such file or 
directory
Jun 17 00:23:44 new udevd-event[12412]: unlink_secure: 
chmod(/dev/mapper/linux-backup_srv_mysql-cow, 0000) failed: No such file or 
directory

The messages *seem* to be harmless.  Snapshot creation, mounting,
unmounting, deletion seem to work okay and the backups were fine so far.
But we are talking about backups, even a bogus error message means that
I have to check the backups each time this happens.

The problem shows up both with vanilla and Ubuntu kernels.
