	# processes. Using an existing external device information source can

	# speed up device processing as LVM does not need to run its own native

	# Configuration option devices/preferred_names.

	# Select which path name to display for a block device.

	# If multiple path names exist for a block device, and LVM needs to

	# display a name for the device, the path names are matched against

	# each item in this list of regular expressions. The first match is

	# used. Try to avoid using undescriptive /dev/dm-N names, if present.

	# If no preferred name matches, or if preferred_names are not defined,

	# the following built-in preferences are applied in order until one

	# produces a preferred name:

	# Prefer names with path prefixes in the order of:

	# /dev/mapper, /dev/disk, /dev/dm-*, /dev/block.

	# Prefer the name with the least number of slashes.

	# Prefer a name that is a symlink.

	# Prefer the path with least value in lexicographical order.

	#

	# Example

	# preferred_names = [ "^/dev/mpath/", "^/dev/mapper/mpath", "^/dev/[hs]d" ]

	#

	# This configuration option has an automatic default value.

	# preferred_names = [ "^/dev/mpath/", "^/dev/mapper/mpath", "^/dev/[hs]d" ]

	# Configuration option devices/filter.

	# Limit the block devices that are used by LVM commands.

	# This is a list of regular expressions used to accept or reject block

	# device path names. Each regex is delimited by a vertical bar '|'

	# (or any character) and is preceded 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,

	# then the device is accepted. Be careful mixing 'a' and 'r' patterns,

	# as the combination might produce unexpected results (test changes.)

	# Run vgscan after changing the filter to regenerate the cache.

	#

	# Example

	# Accept every block device:

	# filter = [ "a|.*|" ]

	# Reject the cdrom drive:

	# filter = [ "r|/dev/cdrom|" ]

	# Work with just loopback devices, e.g. for testing:

	#

	# This configuration option has an automatic default value.

	# filter = [ "a|.*|" ]

	# Configuration option devices/global_filter.

	# Limit the block devices that are used by LVM system components.

	# Because devices/filter may be overridden from the command line, it is

	# not suitable for system-wide device filtering, e.g. udev.

	# Use global_filter to hide devices from these LVM system components.

	# every LVM command will scan every active LV on the system (unless

	# many active LVs. When this setting is 0, LVM will not detect or
