      Section number and name: 5.4. Increasing block map cache size

      Describe the issue: The process indicated in this section is incorrect.  It mentions changing the value in the LVM configuration files but then uses the `vdo` utility which does not exist in RHEL-9.

      Suggestions for improvement:

      As mentioned in RHEL-30097.

      The correct steps would be:

      1. deactivate the VDOLV
      lvchange -an vg/vdolv 

      2. Change the vdo setting:
      lvchange --vdosettings "block_map_cache_size_mb=1280" vg/vdolv 

      3. Activate the VDO lv again
      lvchange -ay vg/vdolv
