USAGE         top

   info
       This collects and displays lock state from lvmlockd.  The display is
       primitive, incomplete and will change in future version.  To print
       the raw lock state from lvmlockd, combine this option with --dump|-d.
   dump
       This collects the circular log buffer of debug statements from
       lvmlockd and prints it.
   kill
       This is run by sanlock when it loses access to the storage holding
       leases for a VG.  It currently emits a syslog message stating that
       the VG must be immediately deactivated.  In the future it may
       automatically attempt to forcibly deactivate the VG.  For more, see
       lvmlockd(8).
   drop
       This should only be run after a VG has been successfully deactivated
       following an lvmlockctl --kill command.  It clears the stale
       lockspace from lvmlockd.  In the future, this may become automatic
       along with an automatic handling of --kill.  For more, see
       lvmlockd(8).
   gl-enable
       This enables the global lock in a sanlock VG.  This is necessary if
       the VG that previously held the global lock is removed.  For more,
       see lvmlockd(8).
   gl-disable
       This disables the global lock in a sanlock VG.  This is necessary if
       the global lock has mistakenly been enabled in more than one VG.  The
       global lock should be disabled in all but one sanlock VG.  For more,
       see lvmlockd(8).
   stop-lockspaces
       This tells lvmlockd to stop all lockspaces.  It can be useful to stop
       lockspaces for VGs that the vgchange --lock-stop comand can no longer
       see, or to stop the dlm global lockspace which is not directly
       stopped by the vgchange command.  The wait and force options can be
       used with this command.
