Heinzm,thanks for the quick reply.. We are using dmestup create

advantage going with logical volume approach lvcreate -type

One of LVM features is monitoring of mirror/raid LVs and removing/replacing any missing legs.

Using dmsetup directly, you have to do this manually.

Hard to tell what's happening without any kernel log.


Is dm_mirror viable solution here  ?. Can you point me any link
which gives the limitations of dm_mirror ? . another alternate
solutions you propose here ?. Thanks in advance .

We've switched the default away from "mirror" to "raid1" in order
to take advantage of th MD runtime. Have you tested  "lvcreate
--type raid1 ..." yet? Please do.
