[pve-devel] [PATCH storage 1/2] lvm: ignore "activation skip" LV flag during LV activation

[Friedrich Weber]

LVs with the "activation skip" flag (can be set via `lvchange -ky`)
are only activated if `-K` is passed to the activation command. In the
next major release, we intend to set the "activation skip" flag for
newly created LVs. The goal is to prevent LVs from being
auto-activated after boot, and thus fix bug #4997.

In preparation for this future change, adjust activation commands
issued by the LVM plugin to include the `-K` flag. For LVs without the
"activation skip" flag, passing the `-K` flag during activation has no
effect, so it should be harmless to always provide it.
