.
lvm_import_vdo utility imports VDO volumes created and managed by
.BR vdo (8)
manager into
.BR lvm2 (8)
managed VDO LV. This is realized by moving VDO superblock by 2MiB
and creating lvm2 metadata at the front of this device. The operation is not reversible,
thus after conversion to lvm2 the access to VDO data is only possible with
.BR lvm2 (8)
commands,
.BR vdo (8)
manager no longer control such volume.
