Hi all,

I'm running this command:

root@(none):~# vgchange -A n -a y my_vg
  -A option not necessary with -a option
  Run `vgchange --help' for more information.

It seems like activation (-a) implies autobackup (-A) since it doesn't accept the option to disable it. Is the backup really required when activating the group? I would rather skip it.

Thanks,
Max
