Forgive my bluntness, but this seems to be a bit of a hack to me. Why has lvm2 taken this step backwards from lvm1?
Ask Sistina! Erhm... Heck, I guess this is Red Hat now :-)
There's gotta be a better way.
IMHO it should scan /proc/mdstat or something equivalent to exclude raid members. Other than that, I think scanning as many devices as it can is actually an improvement, even though it will often result in ugly error messages when it attempts to scan say the CD drive and there isn't anything there :-)
Or at least a faster way.
Well... Either you scan all devices that could possibly name physical volumes, or you risk missing some. What do you suggest? Maybe a config file that enables you to limit the set of devices it scans? Well... Seems to have already been done :-)
