Re: FW: Problem deleting disk pool volume.

Usually, I simply wait an hour or two, and this resolves itself.

Some process has something here pinned, and that process has to finish.
Could be a backup, a restore, expiration, reclamation, or who knows what
internal machination. Patience has usually worked for me on problems of
this nature. If you're really anxious about it, restart the server, but
I wouldn't bother, since this is a problem that actually can be solved
by going for lunch.
