copy=1; RAID row=1.
2. One 3-way mirroring volume: RAID width=1; RAID
copy=3; RAID row=1.
3. One RAID 10 volume over 3 4-disk RAID 1 volume:
RAID width=1; RAID copy=4; RAID row=3.
WT
Write-Through cache write policy. Each data is synchronized
in both data cache and the accessed physical disks.
WB
Write-Back cache write policy. Will speed up system write
performance but needs to bear the risk where data may be
inconsistent between data cache and the physical disks in one
short time interval.
RO
Set the volume to be Read-Only.
DS
Dedicated Spare disks. The spare disks only belong to one
specific VG. Others could not use the spare disks for any
rebuilding purpose.
GS
Global Spare disks. If some VGs are using the global spare
disks to do rebuilding, they could get the spare disks out from
the common spare disks pool for such requirement.
DC
Dedicated Cache.
GC
Global Cache.
DG
DeGrade mode.
