Hi.

It seems that the lvmdump manpage lists not everything which is acutally included.
At least the following was missing:
- /sys/block listing
- everything form /etc/lvm, which is not only config/cache but possibly also backups, etc.

The attached patch adds this info.

Please forward to upstream if possible :)


Hope I could help,
Chris.
