All you can do then is set up filters so each cmd only sees the disks you
want it to see.

Temporarily, --config lets you do this on each cmdline.

For a permanent setup, another option is to use a separate lvm.conf by setting
LVM_SYSTEM_DIR in the environment.

Good day.

I've check this, but found it ignores new VG with same name.

I've filter system disk out, attach snapshot, allow only snapshot device to be scanned. Pvscan found pv, vgscan, vgchange -a y all them works without complains, but no any new /dev/dm* devices appears (and no any messages in udevadm monitor).

So problem is the same: how to LVM volumes on readonly snapshot on same machine as original disk.
