You remember incorrectly. lvm.conf is not needed to use LVM. It |
| 7 |
configures some aspects of LVM, such as filtering out devices to speed up |
| 8 |
scanning and setting snapshot policies, but it is not needed to access |
| 9 |
the data on the LVM volumes. |

The only time I have had a problem accessing the data from an LVM on a |
| 12 |
different machine is when both systems used the same volume group name, |
| 13 |
which is solved by renaming one of them. |
