 .SH DESCRIPTION
 lvextend extends the size of an LV. This requires allocating logical
 extents from the VG's free physical extents. If the extension adds a new
 LV segment, the new segment will use the existing segment type of the LV.
 
-Extending a copy\-on\-write snapshot LV adds space for COW blocks.
+Extending a copy-on-write snapshot LV adds space for COW blocks.
 
 Use \fBlvconvert\fP(8) to change the number of data images in a RAID or
 mirrored LV.

 When creating a RAID 4/5/6 LV, this number does not include the extra
 devices that are required for parity. The largest number depends on
 the RAID type (raid0: 64, raid10: 32, raid4/5: 63, raid6: 62), and
 when unspecified, the default depends on the RAID type
-(raid0: 2, raid10: 4, raid4/5: 3, raid6: 5.)
+(raid0: 2, raid10: 2, raid4/5: 3, raid6: 5.)
