can you share such a scenario? This code path is currently hit in the
boot sequence (where a 90s timeout is already imposed by systemd, IIUIC)
and in the rare case where you change global_filter in lvm.conf. We hope
the boot code will be able to avoid it altogether, so eventually, the
only place where this can happen is when you modify global_filter and
then run two LVM commands in parallel. If the first takes more than 80s
to do its initial scanning, the second command will time out.
