+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
