The secret, as Neil reminded us, is to change /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to read: locking_dir = "/run/lock/lvm" This works because /run (recently, anyway) is created/mounted on tmpfs before lvm starts, and that gives lvm somewhere to write its lock file when it starts. The default setting is /dev/.lvm, but /dev may not exist when lvm needs to start, depending on how your machine is set up, I think/guess. This applies only to ~ versions, BTW, not stable.
