Description Zdenek Kabelac 2014-02-19 15:50:46 UTC 
Description of problem:

Using selinux with lvm2 seems to be quite expensive and cases noticeable slowdown of the total execution time.

Usage of selinux call should be reviewed and eventually optimized when possible.

Currently lvm2 always calls selabel_open() even when lvm2 does not create any devices (udev now takes care of this) and uses this for creation of file which should be most probably handled by policy.
