Subject: [PATCH] Remove the lvmdevices file at the end of recovery
The file /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices restricts LVM to disks with
given (hardware) IDs (serial numbers, WWNs). See lvmdevices(8).
Unfortunately, when restoring to different disks than in the original
system, it will mean that LVM is broken in the recovered system (it
won't find any disks). Therefore it is safer to remove the file to
force the old behavior where LVM scans all disks. This used to be the
LVM default (use_devicesfile=0).
