Firstly, thank you, everyone that sent replies to my questions
concerning
the disk problems I was experiencing. My original question was:

Each of the responses I received was helpful. They all hinted to the
fact that there
was probably some process that had one of the partitions on the disk
open. It turns
out that LSM still thought that the disk was under its control, and had
the disk online.
We took the disk offline under LSM and that seemed to solve the problem.
