 NAME
      lvmpvg - store physical volume group information for LVM

 SYNOPSIS
      /etc/lvmpvg

 DESCRIPTION
      lvmpvg is an ASCII file that stores the volume-group information for
      all of the physical volume groups in the system.  The information is
      stored in a hierarchical format.  First, it starts with a volume group
      under which multiple physical volume group can exist.  Under each
      physical volume group, a list of physical volumes can be specified.
      There must be at least one physical volume group in each volume group
      that appears in this file.  The physical-volume-group name must be
      unique within the corresponding volume group, although it is
      permissible to use a common physical volume group name across
      different volume groups.  There can be as many volume groups in this
      file as there are in the system.

      Instead of using the vgcreate and vgextend commands, the administrator
      can edit this file to create and extend physical volume groups.
      However, care must be taken to ensure that all physical volumes to be
      included in the file have already been defined in their respective
      volume groups by previous use of vgcreate or vgextend.

      The lvmpvg file format is structured as follows: VG and PVG are
      keywords that stand for Volume Group and Physical Volume Group
      respectively.  No comments are allowed in this file.

           VG        vol_group_name
           PVG       physical_vol_group_name
           physical_vol_path

 EXAMPLES
      The following example shows an lvmpvg file containing two volume
      groups: the first containing two physical volume groups, each with two
      physical volumes defined in it; the second containing three physical
