OK, so
1) pvcreate(8) still needs to list defaults for --dataalignment and
--dataalignmentoffset
2) without going into too much specifics about tuning, I think the
vgcreate(8) man page should probably mention something like
"physicalextentsize should be equal to or larger than, and a multiple of
the PV dataalignment setting"
but someone who understands the tuning issues can probably improve on the
above.
