[rhelv6-list] LVM question about filter option in lvm.conf file and persistent disk name format

Sure.  For example I have a system with:
   filter = [ "a,^/dev/sda,", "a,^/dev/mapper/fc,", "r/.*/" ]

It's doing regular expression pattern matches, and doesn't care
about the semantics of the underlying files until much later.
