I just installed yakkety, and got a similar result. All of the cloud- images and maas images have lvm2 already built in, so this would not be seen there.
$ sudo vgcreate localvg Command failed with status code 5. I installed yakkety like this. #!/bin/bash virt-install \ --connect qemu:///system \ --virt-type kvm \ --name yakketylvm \ --ram 2048 \ --disk pool=VMs,size=10 \ --graphics vnc \ -l ftp://ftp.utexas.edu/pub/ubuntu/dists/yakkety/main/installer-amd64/ \ --os-variant ubuntu16.04 ** Changed in: lvm2 (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1626166 Title: lvm2 not starting lvm2-lvmetad on package install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/+bug/1626166/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
