I *do* have LVM physical and logical volumes on most of my drives, e.g. a volume group on my backup drive. And I want an explicit call to vgscan to find all these volumes. Therefore a filter excluding these device is not the solution.
But I dislike all my drives spinning up and having to wait for that when I simply call vgdisplay vg0 to see how much space is left in my primary volume group with /, /usr, /var and /home file systems, which are active all time. Steve
