+clvmd is the daemon that distributes lvm metadata updates around a cluster. It must
+be running on all nodes in the cluster and will give an error if a node is in the
+cluster that does not have this daemon running.
+.SH OPTIONS

+Runs in the forgeround and prints debugging information (if compiled in) to
+stderr. By default, clvmd will fork into the background when invoked.
+.TP
+.I \-t <timeout>
+Specifies the timeout for commands to run around the cluster. This should not
+be so small that commands with many disk updates to do will fail, so you
+mayneed to increase this on systems with very large disk farms. The default is 30
+seconds.
