With to use .TP where it's easy and doesn't change layout
(since .HP is marked as deprecated) - but .TP is not always perfetc match.

Avoid submitting empty lines to troff and replace them mostly with .P
and use '.' at line start to preserve 'visual' presence of empty line
while editing man page manually when there is no extra space needed.

Fix some markup.

Add some missing SEE ALSO section.

Drop some white-space at end-of-lines.

Improve hyphenation logic so we do not split options.

Use '.IP numbers' only with first one the row (others in row
automatically derive this value)

Use automatic enumeration for .SH titles.

lvm2-activation-generator - generator for systemd units to activate LVM volumes on boot
.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.
.B #SYSTEMD_GENERATOR_DIR#/lvm2-activation-generator
.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.
The lvm2-activation-generator is called by \fBsystemd\fP(1) on boot to
generate systemd units at runtime to activate LVM Logical Volumes (LVs)
when global/event_activation=0 is set in \fBlvm.conf\fP(5). These units use
\fBvgchange -aay\fP to activate LVs.
.P
If event_activation=1, the lvm2-activation-generator exits immediately without
generating any systemd units, and LVM fully relies on event-based
activation to activate LVs. In this case, event-generated
.B pvscan --cache -aay
commands activate LVs.
.P
These systemd units are generated by lvm2-activation-generator:
.P
.I lvm2-activation-early.service
is run before systemd's special \fBcryptsetup.target\fP to activate
LVs that are not layered on top of encrypted devices.
.P
.I lvm2-activation.service
is run after systemd's special \fBcryptsetup.target\fP to activate
LVs that are layered on top of encrypted devices.
.P
.I lvm2-activation-net.service
is run after systemd's special \fBremote-fs-pre.target\fP to activate
LVs that are layered on attached remote devices.
.P
Note that all the underlying LVM devices (Physical Volumes) need to be
present when the service is run. If the there are any devices that appear
to the system later, LVs using these devices need to be activated directly
by \fBlvchange\fP(8) or \fBvgchange\fP(8).
.P
The lvm2-activation-generator implements the \fBGenerators Specification\fP
as referenced in \fBsystemd\fP(1).
