Hi,
MAN PAGE
In http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/pvscan.8.html I see the
following issues:
* The string "-a--activate" appears several times. Should be:
"-a|--activate"
* "-a|--activate y|n|ay" is mentioned, but later on:
"Only ay is applicable." Please remove "y|n|".
PROGRAM
# pvscan --activate ay
Command does not accept option: --activate ay.
The message is confusing. It would be better to say "--activate requires
--cache"
In fact, why not drop the "ay" argument all together and just allow
"--cache --activate"?
Hi
In general - we use internal logic for parsing options and its parameters and
in this case the options 'takes' more parameters then 'pvscan' can accept.
We could possibly add 'extra' special option e.i. :
--pvscanautoactivation
but we've considered at given time it's not worth since normally no user is
ever supposed to use it in regular user space (since noone likes to see more
and more individal options doing nearly the same thing)
This option is mostly targeted for execution inside udev rules - and since
there was some 'evolution' how to make this working - it's now not really
worth to make it more complicated - since we would have to keep old option
present anyway for backward compatibility.

Zdenek
