This I can see.

But this is not in my man (fedora 25)....

Moreover lvmetad.service is disabled, so I don't understand why it is
complaining and about what.

But this one is running and not in "failed state" when you enquiry about
its status.

This message appears at shutdown for a while now: yes, systemd does not
shutdown some services before unmounting partitions used by these
services (so you can wait for sometimes because a "job is running"). How
long will it takes untill these kinds of bugs will be fixed? I have an
f21 system without this kind of bugs, so it is a regression which lasts
for some times now.... When you ask the systemd folks, they reply that
it is a bug from the distro!
