      This is a follow up to bug https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-31863.

      The reality is that any attempted use of the multiple "vdo" thin volumes results in I/O errors. So, sure LVM will allow you to create them, but they can't actually be used, hence we shouldn't advertise this functionality in the vdo man page.

      From lvmvdo(7):
         1. Using multiple volumes using same VDOPoolLV
             You can convert existing VDO LV into a thin volume. After this conversion you can create a thin snapshot or you can add more thin volumes with thin-pool named after orignal LV name LV_tpool0.
      
             Example
             # lvcreate --type vdo -L 5G -V 10G -n vdo1 vg/vdopool
             # lvconvert --type thin vg/vdo1
             # lvcreate -V20 vg/vdo1_tpool0
      
      
      [root@virt-019 ~]# lvcreate --yes --type vdo -n vdo_lv  -L 25G vdo_sanity -V 50G  
        Wiping vdo signature on /dev/vdo_sanity/vpool0.
          The VDO volume can address 22 GB in 11 data slabs, each 2 GB.
          It can grow to address at most 16 TB of physical storage in 8192 slabs.
          If a larger maximum size might be needed, use bigger slabs.
        Logical volume "vdo_lv" created.
      [root@virt-019 ~]# mkfs --type xfs -f /dev/vdo_sanity/vdo_lv
