We have encrypted volume using LUKS.
*cryptsetup luksOpen /root/test1 volume1*
and mounted on
*mount /dev/mapper/volume1 /mnt/files*
We created postgres data directory inside /mnt/files and able to start the
postgres database.
*/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /mnt/files/postgres/ -l
/var/logs/postgres/postgrs.log start*
Even though we unmounted /mnt/files
*sudo umount -l /mnt/files*
When we try to close volume using LUKS.
*sudo cryptsetup luksClose volume1*
Getting following errors:
*device-mapper: remove ioctl on volume1 failed: Device or resource busy*

Looks fair. You did a lazy unmount whilst postgres is still using it
(lsof -n will confirm) THEN you tried to tell it to stop the encryption
processing, which it wont let you do as the mount is still in use
(though detached from the filesystem tree).

Thanks Cat for quick response. I understand this. Is there any way I can
encrypt the data at rest in Postgres using LUKS. Kind find any
documentation.

As near as I can tell, you have.
Why are you trying to unmount the filesystem containing the data and closing
the luks encryption?

I thought there will be a way to close the LUKS encryption volume. Its
clear to me now , encryption volume has to be in the opened state. LUKS
will help if somebody can hold of physical hard disk. It does not protect
against copying data from Live environment.

Correct. The latter is a far more complex problem.
