Patch seems to be missing  libdm API extension to set min/max rates.

Maybe the argument for min/max should be specified in 'size' units/second.
So you could easily say   1M   - just like with other args where we give size.

.RB [ \-\-minrecoveryrate
.IB Rate ]

is a bit better - since you give roff a change to insert spaces more evenly.

I'd vote for 'size_arg'
