Removing not used dataset not possible - busy

[cfmedicus]

Hi,

I had an app installed (photoprism) and used a dataset for the image storage. After removing the photoprism app completely I tried to remove the dataset, which is not used by anything else (eg samba service). Whenever I try to remove the dataset I‘ll get the error

[EBUSY] Failed to delete dataset: cannot destroy 'Data/photoprism': dataset is busy

I did (thanks to the newest update) a server restart, but that doesn‘t do it for me.

Any ideas how I could get rid of a unused dataset?

Best regards

Hello everyone!

I have the same problem. After uninstalling photoprism, it is not possible to delete the dataset it used.

Hello, everyone.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue? I did an experiment, I just created a photoprism folder in another pool. Immediately after creating it, I tried to delete it and failed. I got a warning message.
EBUSY] Failed to delete dataset: cannot destroy 'Data/photoprism': dataset is busy.
Can anyone help me?

Is the dataset attached to a share service such as SMB? If it is stop the service and you should be able to remove the dataset. Snapshots could also have a hold on the dataset and prevent the deletion. You could also try the following I found on the forum search (reference post) from earlier this month for the same basic issue to look and see what is keeping the dataset mounted in use.

# Figure out which process(es)
grep "$YOUR_DATASET_NAME" /proc/*/mounts

# List processes and filter by the id(s) from last step
ps -aux | grep $PROC_ID

Thank you very much, it helped.
The photoprism folder was mounted by filebrowsers. But why only photoprism is a mystery to me.

reboot the NAS and delete as soon as possible after the reboot - works for me.

Its probably a bug

What helped here: stop all apps --> delete dataset --> restart all apps.
Maybe easier and faster than looking for the only app.
