.SH DESCRIPTION
-vgconvert converts VG metadata from one format to another. This command
-is no longer used because this version of lvm no longer supports the LVM1
-format.
+vgconvert is no longer a part of LVM. It was removed along with
+support for the LVM1 format. Use an older version of LVM to
+convert VGs from the LVM1 format to LVM2.
