  ;lvcreate_stripes = 1

  (kilobytes)
  
  ;lvcreate_stripe_size = 512
  
  ;; lvcreate (-c) chunksize (default not set). Numeric value only

  data option this can ;; be run to give the logical volume the -aey flag
  on the destination
  
  ;lvchange_migrate_destination_exclusive = false
  
  ;; If migrating virtual servers on shared storage using the don't move
  data option this can ;; be run to give the logical volume the -aln flag
  on the source
