Version 2.02.43 - 10th November 2008
====================================
+ Make man pages consistent with either-or options (use "|" everywhere).
Merge device-mapper into the lvm2 tree.
Correct prototype for --permission on lvchange and lvcreate man pages.
Exit with non-zero status from vgdisplay if couldn't show any requested VG.

.SH DESCRIPTION
lvchange allows you to change the attributes of a logical volume
including making them known to the kernel ready for use.
.SH OPTIONS
See \fBlvm\fP for common options.
.TP
-.I \-a, \-\-available y/n/ey/en/ly/ln
+.I \-a, \-\-available y|n|ey|en|ly|ln
Controls the availability of the logical volumes for use.
Communicates with the kernel device-mapper driver via
libdevmapper to activate (-ay) or deactivate (-an) the
Logical volumes with single-host snapshots are always activated
exclusively because they can only be used on one node at once.
.TP
-.I \-C, \-\-contiguous y/n
+.I \-C, \-\-contiguous y|n
Tries to set or reset the contiguous allocation policy for
logical volumes. It's only possible to change a non-contiguous
logical volume's allocation policy to contiguous, if all of the
.I \-\-minor minor
Set the minor number.
.TP
-.I \-\-monitor y/n
+.I \-\-monitor y|n
Controls whether or not a mirrored logical volume is monitored by
dmeventd, if it is installed.
If a device used by a monitored mirror reports an I/O error,
is specified.
Do not use this if dmeventd is already monitoring a device.
.TP
-.I \-M, \-\-persistent y/n
+.I \-M, \-\-persistent y|n
Set to y to make the minor number specified persistent.
.TP
.I \-p, \-\-permission r|rw
