I'd like to know which services/commands are activating the LVs. In the slow case it was clearly done by the lvm2-pvscan services, but in the fast case it looked like it was not. > Could it be that lvm2-activation-net.service activated the VGs?

They still exist. In lvm 2.03, the lvm.conf event_activation setting controls whether activation is event-based via lvm2-pvscan services, or done by lvm2-activation services at fixed points during startup. LVM commands in initramfs could also be interfering and activating more than the root LV. _______________________________________________ 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/
