There'll be a VG-level option for this eventually; until then, use the pvcreate options to say how many copies of metadata you want on each PV. e.g. pvcreate --metadatacopies 0 [Careful use of the --restorefile option lets you reduce it on a PV already in the VG.] For complex VGs you should increase the space set aside for metadata too: --metadatasize See the pvcreate man page.
