Current upstream has set this default value as 0 (in configure.ac)
RHEL builds use this setting as 1. (Possibly even Fedora nowadays).
The major problem with turning this to 1 is the distribution must be
'ready'
with such relatively invasive change as it changes also requirements
on how
the boot image is created (devicesfile must be copied to ramdisk).
So Suse may try to set this setting to 1 and see what all breaks.
... and the man page may need fixing?
Yep - quite likely it would deserve some chapter in 'lvm' man page.
Worth to be noted - existing filters are not going anywhere out - devicesfile
is jiust another mechanism how to limit device set.
For some cases devicesfile present a more simple way - for some others -
filters are clearly a better mechanism which doesn't require updating files in
the filesystem.
Both filtering systems should be equivalent and work equally well - there is
no plan to phase out existing filter logic.
