Please post the filter you are using as well as the full path name of
the disk you are attempting to filter (a complete recursive listing of
/dev as generated by lvmdump or run by hand would be useful. You can use
a service like pastebin for this - please don't send large attachments
to the list).

There are other ways to control activation if for some reason filtering
will not work (e.g. the device name is not stable).
