Message-ID: <20100723231302.GP19063@agk-dp.fab.redhat.com> (raw)

The concept of 'active' (or 'available') and 'inactive' in respect of Volume
Groups has been removed. Under the LVM1 architecture it made sense - VG
metadata was cached in-kernel - but with device-mapper it doesn't - the kernel
doesn't know anything about VGs, only LVs.
Do your detection at the LV level instead.
