Hi Everyone!

I'm wondering about zvol path in lvm settings to ignore them.
In my installation zol path is under /dev/zvol where in lvm default path is /dev/zd.*
Code:
devices {
         # added by pve-manager to avoid scanning ZFS zvols and Ceph rbds
         # global_filter=["r|/dev/zd.*|"]
         global_filter=["r|/dev/zd.*|","r|/dev/rbd.*|"]
}

When I tryed to clean zvol images I received error that device is busy.
After adding /dev/zv.* in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf and reboot I have successfully cleaned unnecessary zvol images.

Maybe it should be include by default? Or it's only my strange specific?
