Bug#466141: lvm2: error message during shutdown (Can't deactivate volume group...)

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.35-1
Severity: normal

Same here (with newer version), but now with additional complaints at startup (... left open).

My linux partition and swap partition are on /dev/sda5 (lvm) which is on /dev/sda3 (extended).

It appears that lvm tries to deactivate them (S50lvm2) after unmounting all files systems 
(S40umountfs) but before making the rootfs read only (S60umountroot).

I am not sure this is the correct order. But hey, I'm new to linux and not quite sure how these startup sequences work.
