Hello Everyone.....

1. Actually I am a "iSCSI"(Phenomenon giving illusion of remote disk as
local one) guy.

Target exposes LV's.Initiator "*logs in*" to the LV's which he will see as
"Disks".

Initiator will make a LV on the "Disk" exposed from the target.Writes some
data on that mounted LV.

After Unmount,Initiator logged out of that disk.

When Initiator re-logins to the same disk,that LV is visible.But *WE CANNOT
MOUNT THAT.AND THUS DATA WRITTEN EARLIER BECOMES INACCESSIBLE.*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. When "/etc/lvm/lvm.conf" is read?One I know is at the time of
installation of LVM.

    At the time of "*Logout*" of the LV,we can add a filter in it to deny
showing LV's created on the Exposed disk.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Experts opinion needed.
