Yes, exactly. The idea behind filter and "global_filter" split is that
the global_filter applies globally on system scope (in our context of
lvmetad, it means lvmetad will see everything that "global_filter" allows,
not taking care about the "filter").
Then each LVM client (all LVM commands except pvscan --cache) can use
different "filter" for the information that lvmetad returns.
So you have two levels of filtering here: global one and client-side one
(that's exactly the split between "to update lvmetad" and
"to retrieve info from lvmetad" filter chain I described in my previous
post).
