If this option is not specified, then by default signature wiping is done

Controls detection and subsequent wiping of signatures on newly created
Logical Volume. There's a prompt for each signature detected to confirm
its wiping (unless \fB--yes\fP is used where LVM assumes 'yes' answer
for each prompt automatically). If this option is not specified, then by
default \fB-W\fP | \fB--wipesignatures y\fP is assumed each time the
zeroing is done (\fB\-Z\fP | \fB\-\-zero y\fP). This default behaviour
can be controlled by \fB\%allocation/wipe_signatures_when_zeroing_new_lvs\fP
setting found in
.BR lvm.conf (5).

If blkid wiping is used (\fBallocation/use_blkid_wiping\fP setting in
.BR lvm.conf (5))
and LVM2 is compiled with blkid wiping support, then \fBblkid\fP(8) library is used
to detect the signatures (use \fBblkid \-k\fP command to list the signatures that are recognized).
