So the calling application (bash) forgot to close some descriptors
(running lvm in mc shell usually produces this:-)

That's just warning, lvm close all descriptors, you can ignore these messages.
(and if the parent process is clvmd, it is bug in clvmd and we should fix it :)

Locking type 2 and 3 are cluster locking
Type 2 is for external locking library, 3 is internal (compiled-in)

For type 3 you should use  --with-cluster=internal in configure.
(you can still switch type 2 with this setting, but if you do not
use own locking library, it is probably not needed).
