I wonder if this behaviour is not observe in Eoan because it is the
first Ubuntu release introducing the removal of lvmetad[0] (starting
v2_03_00) in favour of 'event_activation'[1] (starting v2_03_03) in
lvm2.

Seems like a lot happened between lvm2 found in disco and eoan in term
of development in the activation area.

    pvscan systemd service for event based activation

    The pvscan systemd service for autoactivation was
    mistakenly dropped along with the lvmetad related
    services.

    The activation generator program now looks at the new
    lvm.conf setting "event_activation" (default 1) to
    switch between event activation and direct activation.

    Previously, the old use_lvmetad setting was used to
    switch between event and direct activation.
