Title:
  lvmetad not available during system boot

Status in lvm2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have got a clean Ubuntu 18.04 install with LUKS full disk encryption and I experience slow boot time compared to Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.10. What exactly happends:
  1. Power up the laptop.
  2. The OS loads and prompts for device password
  3. Nothing happens for 2 or 3 iterations of the progress bar (the moving dots).
  4. The OS boots and login screen is presented.

  What I feel wrong and it didn't happen neither on 16.04 nor on 17.10
  is the delay at step 3.

  In /var/log/boot.log I noticed these lines:

    WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning.
    Volume group "ubuntu-vg" not found
    Cannot process volume group ubuntu-vg
    WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning.
    Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
    Found volume group "ubuntu-vg" using metadata type lvm2
    WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning.
    3 logical volume(s) in volume group "ubuntu-vg" now active

  I managed to reproduce the same issue on a VM with standard
  installation by selecting "Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation for
  security".
