# Configuration option devices/allow_changes_with_duplicate_pvs.
# Allow VG modification while a PV appears on multiple devices.
# When a PV appears on multiple devices, LVM attempts to choose the
# best device to use for the PV. If the devices represent the same
# underlying storage, the choice has minimal consequence. If the
# devices represent different underlying storage, the wrong choice
# can result in data loss if the VG is modified. Disabling this
# setting is the safest option because it prevents modifying a VG
# or activating LVs in it while a PV appears on multiple devices.
# Enabling this setting allows the VG to be used as usual even with
# uncertain devices.
