# by 'a' to accept the path, or by 'r' to reject the path.
# The first regex in the list to match the path is used,
# producing the 'a' or 'r' result for the device.
# When multiple path names exist for a block device, if any
# path name matches an 'a' pattern before an 'r' pattern,
# then the device is accepted. If all the path names match
# an 'r' pattern first, then the device is rejected.
# Unmatching path names do not affect the accept or reject
# decision. If no path names for a device match a pattern,

# scanning disks to obtain VG metadata.
# lvmetad is kept updated via udev rules which must be set
# up for LVM to work correctly. (The udev rules should be
# installed by default.) Without a proper udev setup, changes
# in the system's block device configuration will be unknown
# to LVM, and ignored until a manual 'pvscan --cache' is run.
# If lvmetad was running while use_lvmetad was disabled,
# it must be stopped, use_lvmetad enabled, and then started.
# When using lvmetad, LV activation is switched to an automatic,
# event-based mode. In this mode, LVs are activated based on
# incoming udev events that inform lvmetad when PVs appear on
# the system. When a VG is complete (all PVs present), it is
# auto-activated. The auto_activation_volume_list setting
# controls which LVs are auto-activated (all by default.)
# When lvmetad is updated (automatically by udev events, or
# directly by pvscan --cache), devices/filter is ignored and
# all devices are scanned by default. lvmetad always keeps
# unfiltered information which is provided to LVM commands.
# Each LVM command then filters based on devices/filter.
# This does not apply to other, non-regexp, filtering settings:

# If the log device fails, the mirror would convert to using

# remember its sync status across crashes/reboots and
# the entire mirror will be re-synced.
# If a mirror image fails, the mirror will convert to a
# non-mirrored device if there is only one remaining good copy.
# allocate - Remove the faulty device and try to allocate space
