在某RHEL 5.6系统中查询PV时有个输出如下，有点困惑。

# pvscan 
  Found duplicate PV 7UXOslmOGAme9YkHi7cbT6pajucbdppY: using /dev/sdq not /dev/sda

我这边的多路径软件使用的是multipath, 设备名里面都带了msa193079字符串，因此修改/etc/lvm/lvm.conf如下 : 

    注释这行, # filter = [ "a/.*/" ]

      然后新增这行: 

      filter = [ "a/msa193079.*/" "r/.*/" ]

表示允许accept带 msa193079字符串的设备, 拒绝reject所有其他设备.

删除缓存/etc/lmv/cache/.cache

重新扫描,

pvscan
vgscan
lvscan

之后的

cat /etc/lvm/cache/.cache 

# This file is automatically maintained by lvm.

persistent_filter_cache {

重新执行pvs就不在报
