As a side question, currently we have a script which runs "vgchange -ay <vg>",
which will activate the VG.
This script appears to activate the LVs within the VG serially rather than in
parallel. Does it do any processing to determine in which order to activate the
LVs?
The reason I ask is that we have an overall timeout on the activate phase, after
which we'll put any un-activated LVs into an error state. It would be a shame
to try to activate a snapshotted LV first, and then timeout without activating
any of the non-snapshotted LVs.
