I can see from the output with -vvvv that it is indeed trying to find a pv label on every block device in /dev. I thought that I had figured out this was because lvm.conf was setting scan = [ "/dev" ] in the devices section, but I tried removing /dev, and just setting it to "", as well as "none" and lvs -vvvv STILL is opening every block device in /dev. Shouldn't this not happen if you leave the value of scan empty, and shouldn't it be left empty when you have udev running lvscan automatically on block devices that contain physical volumes? _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
