Bug#782719: lvm2: Strange state of lvmetad

[Lars Hanke]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.111-2.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

following the latest upgrade, which included a systemd and kernel upgrade, I get 
warnings in vgdisplay like:

WARNING: lvmetad is running but disabled. Restart lvmetad before enabling it!

Also troubling:

# systemctl status lvm2-lvmetad
● lvm2-lvmetad.service - LVM2 metadata daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/lvm2-lvmetad.service; static)
      Active: inactive (dead)
           Docs: man:lvmetad(8)

These warnings appeared during the upgrade and persisted even after reboot.

As yet, I cannot see any real issues concerning the LVM data. However, since I
never manually interfered with any lvm2 settings and it appears the same way
on two Jessie systems, I assume that something is incorrect with the lvm2 to
systemd integration.
