Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.29-1
Severity: normal
My root fs is on lvm and each time I shutdown, I get this message:
Can't deactivate volume group "vg-main" with 1 open logical volume(s)
It seems it is annoyed by the fact that lvm must be deactivated, but root fs
has not been
unmounted...

If a volume group contains mounted (even ro) logical volumes, it can't
be deactivated. On the other hand, deactivating a volume group does
not entail writing to the disk, so powering off with an active volume
group isn't bad in itself, if all of its logical volumes are "clean"
(eg. mounted read-only). If root is on a logical volume, you will
always get a warning about its logical volume being in use during
shutdown.
