Hi there! I am using LVM heavily, but I decided to not use it for some additional, smaller hard drives I use for backups and that I do not want to spin up every time I do LVM stuff, like pvscan, lvscan, vgchange. As all devices are scanned in this case, I edited the filter in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf:
filter = [ "r|/dev/nbd.*|", "r|/dev/sdd|", "a/.*/" ] This should reject /dev/sdd from scanning. But it doesn't, pvscan spins it up. Any idea why it is not being ignored? Wonko
