When I start up our system, I have a startup script that runs pvscan, vgscan and lvscan, and parses their output. This takes too long - with a small SAN - 1x6 disks FC jbod + 2 FC RAID controllers, it takes roughly 45 seconds with pvscan and vgscan about 23 seconds each. Its pretty obvious that with more storage it will take longer. Any ideas how can I speed it up? (can I run vgscan/pvscan in parallel ?, can I get all the data I need from a single scan ?)
