A strange error appears and disappears when shutting down the computer

I get this error when shutting down or restarting the computer: systemd-shutdown[1]: Unable to finalize remaining DM devices, ignoring. and suddenly disappears. Is there a serious problem? How can I solve it? I’d be glad if someone helps.

The message systemd-shutdown[1]: Failed to finalize DM devices, ignoring may suggest that your root filesystem is on a LVM device and because of that systemd cannot detach it.

Hope this info help. I’m sure someone with more knowledge than me will chime in.

Thanks for your answer. Maybe there will be someone else who can solve the problem. By the way, I had used EndeavourOS before, but it did not have disk encryption. I did a fresh install today and enabled disk encryption. I remember that there was no such problem before enabling disk encryption, but I may be remembering wrong. Could this problem be related to disk encryption?
