[gentoo-user] LVM filter question

Hi there! I am using LVM heavily, but I decided to not use it for some additional, smaller hard drives I use for backups and that I do not want to spin up every time I do LVM stuff, like pvscan, lvscan, vgchange. As all devices are scanned in this case, I edited the filter in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf:

I havent touched the md setup on this box since it was built ~6years ago, but for the latest kernel/udev i've finally disabled the old IDE stuff, so the disks will now appear as sda/sdc instead of hda/hdc at next boot. Will the change be autodetected, or will I need to update a configuration file?
