Hey Peter,
Thanks for the response. I've previously tried the "change" action, and adding the specifier for the DM_ACTIVATION environment variable had no effect. I'm also aware of the capability to set the readahead on a per-volume basis, but I'm looking for a solution which handles setting these values at boot time and/or volume creation time.

Anyway, there's direct way to set the readahead value using LVM tools with:
lvcreate/lvchange -r/--readahead (see man lvcreate and lvchange for more info).
