If the metadata archive under /etc/lvm/archive for a particular VG has
a lot of files or is overly large, `vgs` occasionally prints a message
to stdout [1]. The LVM plugin tries to parse this message and thus
produces the following confusing warnings in the output of `pvesm
status` or the journal (via pvestatd):
Use of uninitialized value $size in int at [...]/LVMPlugin.pm line 133
Use of uninitialized value $free in int at [...]/LVMPlugin.pm line 133
Use of uninitialized value $lvcount in int [...]/LVMPlugin.pm line 133
Reported in enterprise support where LVM picked up on VGs on VM disks
(due to a missing KRBD device filter in the LVM config), and since
several VM disks had VGs with the same name, LVM quickly produced a
lot of files in /etc/lvm/archive.
Reproducible as follows with a VG named `spam`:
for i in $(seq 8192);
do vgrename spam spam2; vgrename spam2 spam; done
rm /etc/lvm/backup/spam; vgs -o vg_name
Output (linebreak for readability):
Consider pruning spam VG archive with more then 8 MiB in 8268\n
files (check archiving is needed in lvm.conf).
