The sections that may be present in the file are:
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBdevices\fP \(em Device settings
|
|
.IP
|

\fBdir\fP \(em Directory in which to create volume group device nodes.

|
.IP
|
|
\fBscan\fP \(em List of directories to scan recursively for
|
|
LVM physical volumes.

|
|
.IP
|
|
\fBfilter\fP \(em List of patterns to apply to devices found by a scan.
|
|
Patterns are regular expressions delimited by any character and preceded
|
|
by \fBa\fP (for accept) or \fBr\fP (for reject). The list is traversed
|
|
in order, and the first regex that matches determines if the device
|
|
will be accepted or rejected (ignored). Devices that don't match
|
|
any patterns are accepted.
|
|
For example, to ignore /dev/cdrom you could use:
|
|
\fBdevices { filter=["r|cdrom|"] }\fP
