[linux-lvm] Protection of used scsi disks by LVM

Hello,

I have a question : 
Why does LVM not protect the scsi devices which are used for volumes ?

I can easily go to /dev/sda1 for example, and erase everything on it.

Of course it is a stupid thing to do, but there is a minimal requirement on
protection, isn't it ?

I cannot think about the way to protect it, because LVM uses those disks as
every other programs.

Any ideas ?

Regards.

Sergey .
