-Determines the allocation policy when a command needs to allocate
-Physical Extents (PEs) from the VG. Each VG and LV has an allocation policy
-which can be changed with vgchange/lvchange, or overriden on the
-command line.
-\fBnormal\fP applies common sense rules such as not placing parallel stripes
-on the same PV.
-\fBinherit\fP applies the VG policy to an LV.
-\fBcontiguous\fP requires new PEs be placed adjacent to existing PEs.
-\fBcling\fP places new PEs on the same PV as existing PEs in the same
-stripe of the LV.
-If there are sufficient PEs for an allocation, but normal does not

-Number of copies of the VG metadata that are kept.

-Keeping a copy of the VG metadata on every PV can reduce performance
-in VGs containing a large number of PVs.
-When this number is set to a non-zero value, LVM will automatically
-choose PVs on which to store metadata, using the metadataignore flags
-on PVs to achieve the specified number.
-The number can also be replaced with special string values:
