Prevent automatic volume group activatation at boot time


How to prevent automatic volume group activatation at boot time?

Platform :

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • lvm
  • Resolution
    In /etc/lvm/lvm.conf file add
    volume_list = [ "vg1" ]  
    
    Which means only vg1 out of may vg's is activated at the time of booting. Other vg's will remain deactivated.
    Root Cause
    -- snip from /etc/lvm/lvm.conf --
    # If volume_list is defined, each LV is only activated if there is a
    # match against the list.
    # "vgname" and "vgname/lvname" are matched exactly.
    # "@tag" matches any tag set in the LV or VG.
    # "@*" matches if any tag defined on the host is also set in the LV or VG
    #
    # volume_list = [ "vg1", "vg2/lvol1", "@tag1", "@*" ]

    Thanks,
