[The details have been discussed in some newer messages in the thread, so I'm making just a general comment here:] I don't think uninstalling packages or disabling services is the way to go. Ideally, we should have packages for all frequently used storage stacks installed by default, and all services required to support such stacks also enabled by default when installed. Having things "just work" by default makes the user experience vastly better. We also shouldn't be lightly recommending masking or uninstalling of packages because unexperienced users see such recommendations and may follow them without fully understanding what the effect is. Instead, services should be smart enough to exit quickly if they have nothing to manage (which lvm2-monitor already does). And ideally, storage services should only be started in response to hotplug events that detect given hardware type to exist (which apparently could be improved a bit, but as long as the noop cost is small, this is not a such a big issue).
