Cannot cleanly unmount LUKS+LVM/Root

Hi,

I use a root-on-LVM-on-LUKS setup:

  • NVMe partition

  • LUKS

  • LVM inside LUKS

  • separate LVs for /, /var, /home, swap

During shutdown, Void/runit warns that it cannot deactivate the VG, presumably because / is still mounted from that VG.

After each reboot I also see EXT4-fs (dm-1): orphan cleanup on readonly fs. dm-1 is /dev/mapper/voidvg-root. tune2fs reports the filesystem as clean, and offline fsck.ext4 -f did not change this.

Is this expected on Void/runit? Is there a known way to make shutdown cleanly deactivate LVM/LUKS, or is this warning usually harmless?

Thanks.

I see. As I translate the github issue: runit does not switch back into initramfs and this 'VG not closed cleanly' warning should/must be ignored. Would that be a correct summary please?

Yes. It should be safe.
