If a single, standard LV is specified as the cache, use it directly instead of converting it into a cache-pool object with two separate LVs (for data and metadata). With a single LV as the cache, lvm will use blocks at the beginning for metadata, and the rest for data. Separate dm linear devices are set up to point at the metadata and data areas of the LV. These dm devs are given to the dm-cache target to use. The single LV cache cannot be resized without recreating it. If the --poolmetadata option is used to specify an LV for metadata, then a cache pool will be created (with separate LVs for data and metadata.)
