Can you please respond directly to my email address as I do not subscribe to the LVM mailing list. Is there an understood way to deal with LVM volumes with iscsi disks discovered through the native iscsi intiator? LVM startup takes place in rc.sysinit prior to networking being up, and thus the iscsi initiator. I found that I needed to run vgscan and vgchange by hand after booting for these volumes to persist. Do admins typically do their own customization to achieve something similar, or is there a way to achieve this through some configuration file?
