The lvm2-pvscan@.service must use only "major:minor" for device reference, not /dev/block/major:minor (a path). Otherwise, the global_filter is not properly applied. This may end up with unexpected filtering of the devices that LVM should scan when someone has global_filter defined. commit 359291b41cdeb1ca886e018aa44c67882da10252 Author: Peter Rajnoha <prajnoha> Date: Wed Dec 18 12:00:02 2013 +0100 systemd: use only major:minor for pvscan in lvm2-pvscan@.service When using filters for the pvscan --cache (the global_filter), there's a difference between: pvscan --cache -aay /dev/block/<major>:<minor> and pvscan --cache -aay <major>:<minor> (or --major <major> --minor <minor>) In the first case, we need to be sure to have an exact matching line in the filter for the device to be used, no aliases are considered So for example even if we have accept rule for "/dev/sda" present, this won't apply for "/dev/block/8:0" even though it's the same device! This is because we're comparing the path used on command line directly with the path written in the rule. For the second one, any alias mentioned in the filter will apply as we're comparing the major and minor pair, not looking at actual device names - so any alias mentioned in the rules will suffice for the filtering rule to apply. For the global_filter to be properly used, we need to call the second one in the lvm2-pvscan@.service - nobody is able to tell what value of major:minor the kernel assignes next time, hence this bug makes the use of global_filter quite unusable!

lvm2-2.02.103-5.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/lvm2-2.02.103-5.fc20
This bug may have caused the PVs to be incorrectly ignored (because of the global_filter use) while they were supposed to be visible and the LVM volumes may have ended up inactive while they were supposed to be activated.
