scanning, an ordinary pvscan (without \-\-cache) will simply read metadata

If lvmetad is started or restarted after devices are visible, or
if the global_filter has changed, then all devices must be rescanned
for metadata with the command pvscan \-\-cache.

lvmetad does not cache older metadata formats, e.g. lvm1, and will

pvscan auto-activation can be only done in combination with \-\-cache.

.IP \[bu] 2
Auto-activation is designated by the "a" argument in '-a|--activate ay'.
This is meant to distinguish system generated commands from explicit user
commands, although it can be used in any activation command. Whenever it
is used, the auto_activation_volume_list is applied.

Auto-activation is not yet supported for LVs that are part of partial or
