Hello List,
I created a md device, and used pvcreate to format it.
But the pvcreate was failed with filter rules.
the filter in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf:
```
filter = [ "r|/dev/.*/by-path/.*|", "r|/dev/.*/by-id/.*|",
"r|/dev/fd.*|", "r|/dev/cdrom|" ]
```
if I remove the filter, pvcreate will be successful. why?
steps:
```
# rpm -qa | grep lvm2
lvm2-2.02.180-10.el7_6.7.x86_64
lvm2-libs-2.02.180-10.el7_6.7.x86_64

```
