You need to exclude the device(s), where the 'template' and the domUs are stored on, from the list of devices which will be scanned by LVM in dom0. The list is actually defined in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf, further details can be found at its manual page lvm.conf(5).
aha. hadn't seen that yet. looks like the
filter = [ ... ]
in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf is what needs to be tweaked. that seems a proper workaround. thanks.
No, it's _not_ a workaround, it's the proper solution!
i'm a bit confused as to why/how Dom0's lvm is even 'seeing' the VG='vg0' defined in an unmounted/unstarted DomU.
The dom0 doesn't even know about a domU's resources, but if these resources are under control of the dom0, hmmm... In your case the files containing the LVM signatures (which are scanned for when /etc/init.d/boot.lvm runs) *will* be found unless you exclude them from this process.
i thought Dom0 was only supposed to be aware "of" its DomUs -- not their contents (e.g., their partitioning, VGs, etc etc)
Again, the storage used for your domUs is just plain visible for LVMs scanning routine...
just trying to be sure to understand the "separation" between Dom0/DomU ...
