[linux-lvm] WARNING: Ignoring duplicate config node: filter (seeking filter)

[linux-lvm] WARNING: Ignoring duplicate config node: filter (seeking filter)

[Cisco]

 
 Hi all,
 
 after upgrading (compiling from source)LVM2 and device 
 mapper, i always get the warning message "WARNING: Ignoring 
 duplicate config node: filter (seeking filter)" when doing 
 "lvm version" or any other lvm command.
 
 Does anyone know what's going on and if i should be 
 concerned about this, or even better: What is the meaning of 
 this message and how can i get rid of it.
 
 Thanks in advance and best regards.

You have multiple "filter = " lines in your lvm config file.  Previous
versions ignored this (but appeared to only use one of them).  You
need to specify all of the filtering you want in one list.

Hi Dave,

thanks a lot !
It worked by consolidating the "filter" lines into one single line
containing all filter statements.
filter = [ "a/.*/", "r|/dev/cdrom|", "r|/dev/hda|", "r|/dev/hdb|",
"r|/cdrom|" ]

Oops - the first pattern matches everything so the rest will have no effect:-)

The man page says:
              filter  -- List of patterns to apply to devices found by a scan.
              Patterns are regular expressions delimited by any character  and
              preceded  by a (for accept) or r (for reject).  The list is tra-
              versed in order, and the first regex that matches determines  if
              the device will be accepted or rejected (ignored).  Devices that
              don't match any patterns are accepted. If  you  want  to  reject
              patterns  that don't match, end the list with "r/.*/".  If there
              are several names for the same device (e.g.  symbolic  links  in
              /dev),  if  any  name  matches  any  a  pattern,  the  device is
              accepted; otherwise if any name matches  any  r  pattern  it  is
              rejected;  otherwise  it  is accepted.  As an example, to ignore
              /dev/cdrom you could use: devices { filter=["r|cdrom|"] }

*g*, yes, you're (of course) right!
I just made a fast attempt without thinking...
