In I believe the mirror code handles errors at region level. So one region could be out of sync while the other regions are updated with the latest data if the disk failure(s) are transient. I don't think the disk with few 'out-of-sync' regions can be assumed to have consistent data. In any case, we need a better method to select the master mirror device. Does LVM have an extra sector or so to give it to the kernel module? Thanks, Malahal. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
