[linux-lvm] enclosure separation/turnoff

[Alexy Khrabrov]

Well, I want to use LVM within each enclosure
to aggregate drives.  The problem is, when I don't
need a particular enclosure, I want to be able to power
it down and boot my server without that box altogether,
but I'm forced to power it on even if the LV is not
mounted in /etc/fstab!  And even if it's deactivated
with lvchange -a n!  It seems to me that the underlying
PVs for that LV are being spinned on boot despite all
of the above, is that right?  Do I have to go deactivate
each PV then?...

Cheers,
Alexy
