This is the standard and pointless message that lvm outputs whenever one of its commands are invoked by a process that just didn't happen to close file descriptors (such as bash when asked to redirect file descriptors): http://groups.google.com/group/uk.comp.os.linux/browse_thread/thread/28b1b41d93ed29ab lvm(2) states with no justification for its behaviour: On invocation, lvm requires that only the standard file descriptors stdin, stdout and stderr are available. If others are found, they get closed and messages are issued warning about the leak. The message is pointless as other programs such as daemons can be routinely be observered with strace to silently close all file descriptors without complaining, but as you say, the error message is also rather scary and counterproductive.
