[ale] Trouble with volume group config and dmsetup

Hey guys. Linux noob here so take it easy on me. I'm trying to delete a volume group in openfiler which is using sdd so I can put sdd in an array. Deleting
it from the GUI doesn't work. Apparently something went wrong when it
was setting up. The vg is vg2 and it has one logical volume that is
called backup. I can't delete the logical volume using lvremove because
it is open. When I run dmsetup info vg2-backup it shows an open count
of 1. Running dmsetup remove vg2-backup doesn't work. I'm guessing that
the solution is to figure out what process is accessing the logical
volume and kill it but I don't know how to do that. If anyone can point
me in the right direction I appreciate it.
