Package: lvm2 Version: 2.02.06-4 The lvm utilities apparently whinge if they inherit any fds other than 0,1,2. This is quite unreasonable. There is nothing wrong with executing a program with some inherited fd >2 and there are many reasons why one might want to do so.
If lvm needs to fork off a daemon or some such then fine, it ought to close them, but it should do so silently. Ian.

LVM supports enterprise level volume management of disk and disk subsystems by grouping arbitrary disks into volume groups. The total capacity of volume groups can be allocated to logical volumes, which are accessed as regular block devices.
