Failed to start LVM2 PV scan on devices

Lately, I've been seeing messages like these appear during startup:

Failed to start LVM2 PV scan on device 8:2.

Despite these, startup goes normally, and all my partitions seem to be mounted correctly. I'm wondering what's causing these messages, and whether I should be concerned.

Log with systemd and lvm messages as follows:
