    # --use-policies is given.
    #
    # "remove" - Simply remove the faulty device and run without it.  If
    #            the log device fails, the mirror would convert to using
    #            an in-memory log.  This means the mirror will not

    # "allocate" - Remove the faulty device and try to allocate space on
    #            a new device to be a replacement for the failed device.
    #            Using this policy for the log is fast and maintains the
    #            ability to remember sync state through crashes/reboots.
    #            Using this policy for a mirror device is slow, as it
    #            requires the mirror to resynchronize the devices, but it
    #            will preserve the mirror characteristic of the device.

    #		      Group may be missing.
    #
    #	"degraded" -  Like "complete", but additionally RAID Logical Volumes of
    #		      segment type raid1, raid4, raid5, radid6 and raid10 will
    #		      be activated if there is no data loss, i.e. they have
    #		      sufficient redundancy to present the entire addressable
    #		      range of the Logical Volume.
    #
    #	"partial"  -  Allows the activation of any Logical Volume even if
    #		      a missing or failed PV could cause data loss with a
    #		      portion of the Logical Volume inaccessible.
