Hello,

I met below filter action when executed 'vgextend'.
why the filter take no effect on executing pvcreate or vgcreate?

# 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/.*/" ]


Hi

Filter with 'a|.*|' at the end will almost always never work.
As devices do have several names so if you reject it by one name,
you will likely accept it with another name.


So I'd highly recommend only these 2 variants that are 'easy to follow'.


1. White-list devices you want to see and add r|.*|  as the last rule.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ most recommended.

2. Pure list of reject rules (do not add any 'a' rule).

Regards

Zdenek
