 =================================
+  Disable private buffering when using liblvm.
+  When private stdin/stdout buffering is not used always use silent mode.
   Add log/silent to lvm.conf equivalent to -qq.
   Suppress non-essential stdout with -qq.
   Switch non-essential log_print messages to log_print_unless_silent.
