Severity: normal

Hi,

I just find minor issues in lvchange


# lvchange
  Need 1 or more of -a, -C, -j, -m, -M, -p, -r, --resync, --refresh, --alloc,
--addtag, --deltag, --monitor or --poll
  Run `lvchange --help' for more information.


# lvchange --help
  lvchange: Change the attributes of logical volume(s)

lvchange
        [-A|--autobackup y|n]
        [-a|--available [e|l]y|n]
        [--addtag Tag]
        [--alloc AllocationPolicy]
        [-C|--contiguous y|n]
        [-d|--debug]
        [--deltag Tag]
        [-f|--force]
        [-h|--help]
        [--ignorelockingfailure]
        [--ignoremonitoring]
        [--monitor {y|n}]
        [--poll {y|n}]
        [--noudevsync]
        [-M|--persistent y|n] [--major major] [--minor minor]
        [-P|--partial]
        [-p|--permission r|rw]
        [-r|--readahead ReadAheadSectors|auto|none]
        [--refresh]
        [--resync]
        [--sysinit]
        [-t|--test]
        [-v|--verbose]
        [-y|--yes]
        [--version]
        LogicalVolume[Path] [LogicalVolume[Path]...]

No mention of -j, -m. Also man page doesn't
show anything.

I will ignore that --help is not really big help,
just a a list of available options (without any
brief description of each option).

Most are obvious from reading coresponding long
options. But there are few not obvious.

Thaks.
