Bug#544801: Unable to obtain global lock

[Cesare Leonardi]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.51-2
Severity: normal

On boot LVM shows this error message:

Write locks are prohibited with --ignorelockingfailure.
Unable to obtain global lock.

Googling around i've found another one experiencing this problem:

I think that also for me this error appeared since 2.02.51.

Regards.

Cesare.
