- You can dump all new configuration settings introduced in the current LVM version, in a specific LVM version.
- You can dump all configuration settings that can be customized in a profile, either in their entirety or separately for command and metadata profiles. For information on LVM profiles see Section B.3, “LVM Profiles”.
- You can dump only the configuration settings for a specific version of LVM.
