Now that the snapshot and mirror targets are in the stock kernel, is it possible to use LVM tools to setup a LVM-based RAID1? I know how to do it via dmsetup, but that's just not very clean. I'd prefer to have the LV mirrored on multiple PVs, as it lets me scale the mirrored slice as large as I want, rather then making a fixed RAID1 and putting the PV+LV on top of it. This will also be nice to have when dm-raid[456] get added to the kernel. Imagine adding 2 drives, then doing a pmove to turn a single-drive setup into a raid5. That's the kind of thing that's handled very-well userspace: create a 'missing disk' raid-5, begin writing to it, once you read enough out, start remapping the beginning sectors to an optimal raid-5 config, with the mirror target making sure any writes to the block device end up in the appropriate place. --Dan _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
