Package: lvm2 Version: 2.02.151-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Installing lvm2 and immediately attempting to use it fails. It seems several lvm-related systemd units were installed but not started. Reloading the systemd units and starting those services (and socket units) solved the issue. > root@harbard ~ # lvchange -a y > WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad.
