[gentoo-user] LVM filter question

[Alex Schuster]

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?
