--type={active|primary|logical}
Sets the recovered volume as active, primary or logical. However, this may not be possible (for example, because there cannot be more than four primary volumes on a disk). Setting a volume active sets it as primary. On the other hand, a volume set primary may remain inactive.
If the type is not specified, the software will try to keep the target volume type. If the target volume is active, the recovered volume is set active. If the target volume is primary and there are other primary volumes on the disk, one of them will be set active while the recovered volume becomes primary. If no other primary volumes remain on the disk, the recovered volume is set active.
When recovering a volume on unallocated space, the software extracts the volume type from the backup. For the primary volume, the type will be set as follows:
