Description

maxvgs specifies the maximum number of volume groups on the system. A set of data structures is created in the kernel for each logical volume group on the system. Setting this parameter to match the number of volume groups on the system conserves kernel storage space by creating only enough data structures to meet actual system needs.

maxvgs is set for to ten volume groups by default. To allow more or fewer, change maxvgs to reflect a new maximum number.
