I enabled 2 systemd units in this MU: 1. dm-event.socket just socket-based activation, 'dmeventd' will be started on demand; 2. lvm2-monitor.service This service will default to running. But, I doesn't see any real load except for a running service. What this service does is just telling 'dmeventd' to start/stop to perform real monitoring work for certain volume group. I also take upstream pkg spec file as a reference: """ %post /sbin/ldconfig %systemd_post blk-availability.service lvm2-monitor.service if [ "$1" = "1" ] ; then # enable and start lvm2-monitor.service on completely new installation only, not on upgrades systemctl enable lvm2-monitor.service systemctl start lvm2-monitor.service fi """ So, I think it's safe and deserved to enable them:)
