Currently there is no support for renaming vg's and/or lv's; we could maybe add
that, but I didn't consider this that much of a common case.

Well, setup-storage has a man-page, so IMHO it would best fit in there (at some
point in time the wiki page should get removed to make sure the man-page is the
one and only authoritative point of information). Currently, however, the
man-page is pretty much the same as the wiki page. You could of course feel free
to prepare patches for the man-page, but I guess a README file would be a lot
easier to write, and I'd integrate it with the man-page afterwards. Furthermore,
the fai-guide could also be a nice point to include such kinds of information.
Then, again, a README seems like a great start.

Thanks a lot,
Michael
