Description of problem: This rfe is solely for users who did not read the LVMDEVICES(8) man page which clearly states: "With no devices file, lvm will use any device on the system, and applies the filter to limit the full set of system devices. With a devices file, the regex filter is not used, and the filter settings in lvm.conf or the command line are ignored." LVMDEVICES(8) With no devices file, lvm will use any device on the system, and applies the filter to limit the full set of system devices. With a devices file, the regex filter is not used, and the filter settings in lvm.conf or the command line are ignored. The vgimportdevices command is one exception which does apply the regex filter when looking for a VG to import. # using a filter *without* a devices file [root@hayes-01 ~]# pvcreate /dev/sd[bcd]1 Physical volume "/dev/sdb1" successfully created.

Would appreciate more than no notice at all of these kinds of changes. This one breaks libguestfs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1965941 Also why was this change made in RHEL 9 first and is still not present in Fedora?

(We had some meetings with other groups last summer about this change but it was more about reviewing the planned design and features.) > Also why was this change made in RHEL 9 first and is still not present in > Fedora? That would have been better, it will hopefully be enabled by default in fedora soon.
