[linux-lvm] Directories turned to sockets

This afternoon I discovered that a 141 directories had turned into socets 
on one of my lvm volume, that is a folder previously listed with the 
attributes drwxrwxr-x now has srwxrwxr-x.  I don't know if this is an lvm 
problem or not but something has defanately gone wrong with my filesystem 
and I'd like to know if anyone could tell me what might be going on.  I'm 
running mandrake 10 with ext3 filesystems on lvm2 volumes (allthough it 
says it's using lvm1 metadata??).

This doesn't sound like a problem with LVM2. LVM2 just presents block
devices, and doesn't really have any concept of things at the filesystem
level. I may be incorrect, but I'd look more for something at the
filesystem level (unmount the filesystem and fsck it perhaps), or
perhaps a rogue process or cron job that has done this change on your
machine.
