I'd like to create a cache dump, but I'm not very experienced with
this stuff. I do:

$ cache_dump /dev/vg_zfs/lv_zfsdisk |less
syscall 'open' failed: Device or resource busy
Note: you cannot run this tool with these options on live metadata.

Which is what I feared/expected. However, after doing

$ lvchange -an vg_zfs/lv_zfsdisk

the device disappears, and I cannot run cache_dump on it as well. So
how do I make it not live, while still visible?
