I still haven't found a good solution.
The very notion that we're "activating" a whole VG made Alasdair cringe last time I talked to him, and rightly so, because it's not meaningful as only LVs can really be "active" or "inactive". Of course, LVM's own management tools do the same, and they of course can't distinguish either between a VG that has been deactivated as a whole, and a VG that has had all of its LVs deactivated one by one. So I guess we're stuck. Unless someone wants to entertain the idea of replacing this RA with one that manages individual LVs, which to me sounds just as silly.
