<p>I am doing some testing on r151020 with the LX Brand. <br>
</p>
<p>I downloaded the latest Centos7 image. <br>
</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.joyent.com/public-cloud/instances/infrastructure/images/centos#centos-7-20161213">https://docs.joyent.com/public-cloud/instances/infrastructure/images/centos#centos-7-20161213</a></p>
<p>I logged in and I was able to do a yum update on the image so
everything looks good. <br>
</p>
<p>One thing I noticed is the /var/log/messages is filling up with
messages like:</p>
<p>Apr 14 23:30:00 test2 lvmetad[7365]: Failed to accept connection
errno 11.<br>
Apr 14 23:30:00 test2 lvmetad[7365]: Failed to accept connection
errno 11.<br>
Apr 14 23:30:00 test2 lvmetad[7365]: Failed to accept connection
errno 11.<br>
Apr 14 23:30:00 test2 lvmetad[7365]: Failed to accept connection
errno 11.<br>
Apr 14 23:30:00 test2 lvmetad[7365]: Failed to accept connection
errno 11.<br>
Apr 14 23:30:00 test2 lvmetad: select error: Invalid argument<br>
Apr 14 23:30:00 test2 lvmetad: select error: Invalid argument<br>
Apr 14 23:30:00 test2 lvmetad: select error: Invalid argument</p>
<p>Not really sure why that daemon is required, since LX doesn't
seem use LVM to manage any disks. <br>
</p>
<p>To disable it I did the following:<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>Disable and stop the <b>lvm2-lvmetad service</b> by running
the following commands:
<div class="cv-ui-codesnippet">
<div class="cv-text-codesnippet">
<p>systemctl disable lvm2-lvmetad <br>
systemctl stop lvm2-lvmetad</p>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>Disable and stop the <b>lvm2-lvmetad.socket</b> service by
running the following commands:
<div class="cv-ui-codesnippet">
<div class="cv-text-codesnippet">
<p>systemctl disable lvm2-lvmetad.socket <br>
systemctl stop lvm2-lvmetad.socket</p>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>Disable <b>lvmetad</b> in the LVM config file by running the
following command:
<div class="cv-ui-codesnippet">
<div class="cv-text-codesnippet">
<p>edit /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to include use_lvmetad = 0</p>
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ol>

<p>I am quite stoked about the LX brand!!</p>
<p>thanks,</p>
