Hmm - I'm quite confused here -

What is the point to check explicitly for 'raid' that  cluster bit cannot be
changed for VG?

Currently AFAIK it's not supported for any active LV  - i.e. current there is
no support for obtaining cluster locks during such conversion?

So shouldn't we rather prohibit conversions for now when any LV from VG is
active ?
