Raid: Attempts to handle device failure automatically. See lvm.conf(5).
Snapshot: Monitors how full a snapshot is becoming and emits a warning to syslog when it exceeds 80% full. The warning is repeated when 85%, 90% and 95% of the snapshot is filled. See lvm.conf(5).

OPTIONS

-d: Repeat from 1 to 3 times (-d, -dd, -ddd) to increase the detail of debug messages sent to syslog. Each extra d adds more debugging information.
-f: Don't fork, run in the foreground.
-h, -?: Show help information.
-R: Replace a running dmeventd instance. The running dmeventd must be version 2.02.77 or newer. The new dmeventd instance will obtain a list of devices and events to monitor from the currently running daemon.
