That's weird because it contradicts the message you get :-?

Mmm, may that makes a difference.

So you have another LVM setup and you don't get the warning here? Then 
I think we can discard LVM as the origination problem :-)

It looks normal.

Okay.

Looking at the scripting routine (and more specifically line 22, which is 
the one that triggers the message) it seems to be inside the 
"checkflagfile()" function, but I can't decode the full meaning of the 
message warning, let's see is other people can give you some hints :-?

What I would try is disabling the cleaning routine, restart the system 
(no message should be presented now) and then re-enable it again and 
check if the mesasge is still present.
