Chef -client version is Chef: 12.5.1

We are getting past this by either pinning lvm to 5.0.2, or using Chef 14+ where we can.

I'm seeing a similar issue introduced in 5.0.3

This message is different from the OP but given the circumstances and similarities between the messages I'm suspicious they are related. Pinning this to 5.0.2 fixes the issue.

I understand that my version of Chef (13.12.14) is definitely past end of life. I haven't tried using Chef v14+ yet.

For lvm2-2.02.187 or greater ,requires 5.0.4 and Chef-client v14+
