You have more than enough layers to complicate things as it is without pvmove adding dm-mirror to the mix. > lvconvert -y --force --force --chunksize 64k --type thin-pool --poolmetadata $VGNAME/meta0 $VGNAME/pool0 It's not a bad idea to use mdraid over dm-integrity, but it would be interesting to know if doing raid+integrity in lvm would have the same problems. e.g. lvcreate --type raid1 --raidintegrity y -m1 -L 512m -n meta0 $vg /dev/ram[01] lvcreate -n pool0 -L 1T $vg /dev/nullb0 lvconvert --type thin-pool --poolmetadata meta0 $vg/pool0 Dave
