This means EVMS tried to call some external program, but the binary couldn't 
be found. Could be bad, or could be normal. Hard to tell without any 
additional context.

This means the swap FSIM plugin didn't load. Most likely it couldn't find or 
run the mkswap program. This could be related to the above error. See if you 
have the mkswap program on your system and make sure it's in your PATH.

Ignorable. It's just attempting to open a device node that doesn't have a real 
device attached to it.

Also ignorable.

A commonly seen warning. Just means some volume or object isn't active yet.

Again, this just means some volume isn't active yet. It will likely be 
activated when you press "save".
