2) I do not use LVM, but I see lvm2-lvmetad.service running
lvmetad is started on demand, when anything tries to contact it. Quite a few of tools may want to know about LVM devices, triggering startup.
That's what I'm trying to understand - what tool did it?
In your case they are likely statically enabled, see below.
if you are absolutely sure you will never ever need it, you can disable both services and socket
systemctl disable lvm2-lvmetad.service lvm2-lvmetad.socket systemctl stop lvm2-lvmetad.service lvm2-lvmetad.socket
Well, I'll do it. I do not expect I'll need LVM. I suspected that maybe virtual box needs this service, but on other systems (12.3 and 13.1) I do have virtual box and do not have this LVM service.
But then you need to edit /etc/lvm/lvm.conf and set use_lvmetad=0 to avoid warnings every time any lvm command is run.
use_lvmetad is set to 0 already...
Yes, apparently there is mismatch between services and LVM configuration. Can't really comment as I have them disabled since 13.1 and update would not change it. * Wed May 28 2014 lwang@suse.com - enable lvm2-lvmetad.socket (bnc#878473) enable lvm2-lvmetad.service but * Wed May 28 2014 lwang@suse.com - disable lvmetad in lvm.conf to fix it (bnc#862076)
3) When I check in Yast what happens to services, I see a number of services "disabled" but "active"... (e.g. upowerd). What does it mean?
"disabled" means service was not configured for autostart. This is similar to /etc/rc?.d links in previous versions. "active" means service is currently running. E.g. someone manually run /etc/init.d/foo start.
That was what I thought, so who could it be? I'm the only user and I definitely did not run them. I do not like when disabled services run by "miracle".
Start with "systemctl list-dependencies --reverse <your-service>" to see, if any other unit requires or wants it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
