Dear Maintainer,
I have installed fresh Debian 7 systems to do some testing with and found
that the default configured cache_dir of "/run/lvm" does not exist under /run.
When I strace vgscan, it gives the ENOENT error because it cannot open
/run/lvm/.cache.
The system us using tmpfs for /run as per the Debian defaults.
I don't know what is suppose to create the lvm directory under /run
on reboot, but it seems that something, perhaps /etc/init.d/lvm2,
should to enable caching.
Upstream (original) lvm2 stores .cache within /etc/lvm dir which
is persistent across reboots.
Debian for unknown reason relocated this 'persistent' place to /run
which is cleared on every reboot - so losing the original purpose.
On the other hand on any modern distro which is using 'udev' scan,
this .cache file is actually not used - since the list of devices
is obtained from udev - so no big harm as the cache file is not even created...
Regards
Zdenek
