.B \-\-embeddingareasize \fIsize
Create a separate embedding area of specified size besides PV's data
area. The embedding area is an area of reserved space on the PV from
which LVM2 will not allocate any extents and it's kept untouched for
use with external tools to embed their own data or metadata. The start
of the embedding area is always aligned, see also \fB--dataalignment\fP
and \fB--dataalignmentoffset\fP. The embedding area size may eventually
end up increased due to the alignment, but it's never less than the
size that is requested. To see the embedding area start and size of
an existing Physical Volume use \fBpvs -o +ea_start,ea_size\fP.
