I understand your requests and I have the same opinion as yours. My suggestion of 'filter' option just reduces the number of accesses to disks which are not related to PVs. Hopefully I would like to find a good solution and fix for this issue. I think that this kind of options are very helpful to give increased priority to this issue among LVM community.
