Yes, that is true. But as mentioned above a vgscan during the boot will activate the VG, which many distributions will do.

>What makes a VG non-cLVM? Why not just use cLVM?
Because it is another piece of software, which needs to run and work.
If a cLVM VG is active on all nodes, someone might activate it by accident.
I like to have a cluster solution, which is protected against some "layer 8 problems"
In my eyes cLVM should only be used with cluster-fs.

But I understand that nobody seems to like the idea.
