Bug#586048: lvm2: vgchange(8) does not list additional info for --logicalvolume

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.66-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch


Hi.

The vgchange(8) manpage does not document the additional lvm1/2 format info
for --logicalvolume while it does for its counterpart --physicalextentsize.

The attached patch simply copies the text from vgcreate(8).

Cheers,
Chris.

btw: --logicalvolume says that it only works on inactive VGs, 
     --physicalextentsize does not mention anything, perhaps this should also
     be clarified for this and all other options.

OT: Is there any reason why we don't have to use --sysinit in our init-scripts
    and initramfs-scripts?
