Hello, I met below filter action when executed 'vgextend'. why the filter take no effect on executing pvcreate or vgcreate? ``` # ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jun 3 20:44 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-360073a707 -> ../../sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jun 3 20:44 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-36007c0036 -> ../../sdb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jun 3 20:27 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600b99ec4 -> ../../sdc # pvcreate /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-36073a707 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-36007c0036 # pvs PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sda lvm2 --- 2.00g 2.00g /dev/sdb lvm2 --- 2.00g 2.00g # vgcreate vgtst /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-36073a707 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-36007c0036hy the filter take no effect on executing pvcreate or vgcreate? # vgs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree vgtst 2 0 0 wz--n- 3.98g 3.98g # vgextend vgtst /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600b99ec4 Device /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600b99ec4 excluded by a filter. # vgs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree vgtst 2 0 0 wz--n- 3.98g 3.98g my enviroment: # rpm -qa | grep lvm2 lvm2-clvm-2.02.180-8.16.x86_64 lvm2-cmirrord-2.02.180-8.16.x86_64 lvm2-2.02.180-8.16.x86_64 the filter rules: (you can see all the disk in /dev/disk/by-id/ are rejected) # grep filter /etc/lvm/lvm.conf | grep -v "#" filter = [ "r|/dev/.*/by-path/.*|", "r|/dev/.*/by-id/.*|", "r|/dev/fd.*|", "r|/dev/cdrom|", "a/.*/" ] ``` Thank you. zhm _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
