Zdenek,

Our project (kolla) assumes the host is completely secured and used for
one purpose (deployed OpenStack).  This is not a general purpose solution
for those that want to share the host with other applications outside of
the scope of one application (OpenStack) per physical machine.

We run the lvm commands via sudo with an appropriate locked down sudoers
file.
