package/lvm2: lvmetad integration

Browse source 
lvmetad is usually combined with event-based system services that
automatically run pvscan --cache on disks added or removed.  This
way, the cache is automatically updated with metadata from new disks
when they appear.  LVM udev rules and systemd services implement this
automation.  Automatic scanning is usually combined with automatic
activation.  For more information, see pvscan(8).

Install lvmetad
The lvmetad daemon caches LVM metadata so that LVM commands
can read metadata from the cache rather than scanning disks.
This can be an advantage because scanning disks is time
consuming and may interfere with the normal work of the
system. lvmetad can be a disadvantage when disk event
notifications from the system are unreliable.
