Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.44-2
Severity: important
On the last few upgrades of lvm2, I saw the following output:
Setting up lvm2 (2.02.44-2) ...
Setting up LVM Volume GroupsFile descriptor 51
(/var/lib/debtags/vocabulary.idx) leaked on vgscan invocation. Parent PID
32047: /bin/sh

File descriptor 52 (/var/lib/debtags/vocabulary) leaked on vgchange invocation.
Parent PID 32047: /bin/sh
File descriptor 53 (/var/lib/debtags/package-tags.idx) leaked on vgchange
invocation. Parent PID 32047: /bin/sh
.
This is a bit scary. First of all, I don't know what it means, not
can I find any information about it. Second, and possibly more
importantly, what why does LVM even know about file descriptors? It
seems like lvm2 is stepping over the line and deals with data it
should not even know about. Either that's due to featuritis, some
other design errors, or there's something else gravely wrong.
