+.SH NOTES
+.
+The lv_attr bits are:
+.IP 1 3
+Volume type: (\fBC\fP)ache, (\fBm\fP)irrored, (\fBM\fP)irrored without initial sync, (\fBo\fP)rigin,
+(\fBO\fP)rigin with merging snapshot, (\fBr\fP)aid, (\fBR\fP)aid without initial sync,
+(\fBs\fP)napshot, merging (\fBS\fP)napshot, (\fBp\fP)vmove, (\fBv\fP)irtual,
+mirror or raid (\fBi\fP)mage, mirror or raid (\fBI\fP)mage out-of-sync, mirror (\fBl\fP)og device,
+under (\fBc\fP)onversion, thin (\fBV\fP)olume, (\fBt\fP)hin pool, (\fBT\fP)hin pool data,
+v(\fBd\fP)o pool, v(\fBD\fP)o pool data,
+raid or pool m(\fBe\fP)tadata or pool metadata spare.
+.IP 2 3
+Permissions: (\fBw\fP)riteable, (\fBr\fP)ead-only, (\fBR\fP)ead-only activation of non-read-only
+volume
+.IP 3 3
+Allocation policy: (\fBa\fP)nywhere, (\fBc\fP)ontiguous, (\fBi\fP)nherited, c(\fBl\fP)ing, (\fBn\fP)ormal
+This is capitalised if the volume is currently locked against allocation
+changes, for example during
+.BR pvmove (8).
+.IP 4 3
+fixed (\fBm\fP)inor
+.IP 5 3
+State: (\fBa\fP)ctive, (\fBh\fP)istorical, (\fBs\fP)uspended, (\fBI\fP)nvalid snapshot,
+invalid (\fBS\fP)uspended snapshot, snapshot (\fBm\fP)erge failed,
+suspended snapshot (\fBM\fP)erge failed, mapped (\fBd\fP)evice present without tables,
+mapped device present with (\fBi\fP)nactive table, thin-pool (\fBc\fP)heck needed,
+suspended thin-pool (\fBC\fP)heck needed, (\fBX\fP) unknown
+.IP 6 3
+device (\fBo\fP)pen, (\fBX\fP) unknown
+.IP 7 3
+Target type: (\fBC\fP)ache, (\fBm\fP)irror, (\fBr\fP)aid, (\fBs\fP)napshot, (\fBt\fP)hin, (\fBu\fP)nknown, (\fBv\fP)irtual.
+This groups logical volumes related to the same kernel target together. So,
+for example, mirror images, mirror logs as well as mirrors themselves appear as
+(\fBm\fP) if they use the original device-mapper mirror kernel driver; whereas the raid
+equivalents using the md raid kernel driver all appear as (\fBr\fP).
+Snapshots using the original device-mapper driver appear as (\fBs\fP); whereas
+snapshots of thin volumes using the new thin provisioning driver appear as (\fBt\fP).
+.IP 8 3
+Newly-allocated data blocks are overwritten with blocks of (\fBz\fP)eroes before use.
+.IP 9 3
+Volume Health, where there are currently three groups of attributes identified:
+.IP
+Common ones for all Logical Volumes: (\fBp\fP)artial, (\fBX\fP) unknown.
+.br
+(\fBp\fP)artial signifies that one or more of the Physical Volumes this Logical
+Volume uses is missing from the system. (\fBX\fP) unknown signifies the status
+is unknown.
+.IP
+Related to RAID Logical Volumes: (\fBr\fP)efresh needed, (\fBm\fP)ismatches exist, (\fBw\fP)ritemostly.
+.br
+(\fBr\fP)efresh signifies that one or more of the Physical Volumes this RAID Logical
+Volume uses had suffered a write error. The write error could be due to a
+temporary failure of that Physical Volume or an indication that it is failing.
+The device should be refreshed or replaced. (\fBm\fP)ismatches signifies that the
+RAID logical volume has portions of the array that are not coherent.
+Inconsistencies are detected by initiating a "check" on a RAID logical volume.
+(The scrubbing operations, "check" and "repair", can be performed on a RAID
+logical volume via the 'lvchange' command.) (\fBw\fP)ritemostly signifies the
+devices in a RAID 1 logical volume that have been marked write-mostly.
+Re(\fBs\fP)haping signifies a RAID Logical Volume is either undergoing a stripe
+addition/removal, a stripe size or RAID algorithm change.
+(\fBR\fP)emove after reshape signifies freed striped raid images to be removed.
+.IP
+Related to Thin pool Logical Volumes: (\fBF\fP)ailed, out of (\fBD\fP)ata space,
+(\fBM\fP)etadata read only.
+.br
+(\fBF\fP)ailed is set if thin pool encounters serious failures and hence no further I/O
+is permitted at all. The out of (\fBD\fP)ata space is set if thin pool has run out of
+data space. (\fBM\fP)etadata read only signifies that thin pool encounters certain
+types of failures but it's still possible to do reads at least,
+but no metadata changes are allowed.
+.IP
+Related to Thin Logical Volumes: (\fBF\fP)ailed.
+.br
+(\fBF\fP)ailed is set when related thin pool enters Failed state and no further I/O
+is permitted at all.
+.IP
+Related to writecache logical volumes: (\fBE\fP)rror.
+.br
+(\fBE\fP)rror is set dm-writecache reports an error.
+.IP 10 3
+s(\fBk\fP)ip activation: this volume is flagged to be skipped during activation.
