-All of these options take a list of volumes as parameters. In this case
-"volume" means just the name of the volume, without the "/vol/" prefix or
-anything like that.
-
-The special values "-" and "+" are supported. "-" means "don't collect values
-for any volumes". "+" means "collect values for all volumes, even volumes that
-are created after collectd was started." Additionally you can prefix a volume
-name with a "-" sign to exclude this one volume. Eg '"+" "-vol0"' collectes
-values for all volumes except vol0.  The order of the parameters is important.
-'"-vol0" "+"' doesn't make sense because the "+" overrides the earlier "-vol0".
+You can select which data to collect about which volume using the following
+options. They follow the standard ignorelist semantic.
