[PVE-User] LVM/pvesm udev database initialization warnings after import of KVM images

[Gianni Milo]

No, normally it's not required to do that. It appears that some people have
had this issue when migrating a VM from raw to thin lvm (?), see the
link below for more information...

It's unclear what is causing this. Perhaps an unfinished backup
restore/clone job?
Better to do some further tests, for example by creating a blank thin lvm
based VM and see if the issue persists.
