You may ask why. Then is my second question, why aren't vgscan and vgchange implemented in kernel and called at boot time ? This would make us be able to consider logical volumes as standard partitions and mount them easily, even as /
because lvm tools are too big and complex to go into kernel space, they are better into userspace and invoked via initrd if you want to use lvm root.
