the command line following the LV name. This option may be repeated multiple
times depending on the RaidLV type. Maxima for raid1 are N-1 mirrors,
for raid4/5 1 stripe, for raid6 2 stripes and for raid10 it is the number
of stripes, i.e. one mirror in each mirror group. It is recommended to keep
resilience whilst replacing PVs whenever possible, i.e. only replace a maximum
of N-2 mirrors in a raid1 LV and 1 stripe in a raid6 LV at a time;
this is not possible with raid4/5/10 LVs, because any single replaced PV
will render the RaidLV non-resilient against another PV failure during replacement.
