Well it's because we have problems in this way. We have a server

We used Powerpath to manage the dual path to the Luns and so I first
created mirror as this :
But after a while I obtain that :
Personalities : [raid1]
read_ahead 1024 sectors

md9 : active raid1 [dev e9:31][1] [dev e8:e1][0]
42829184 blocks [2/2] [UU]
and if we try to rebuild the mirror after after loosing access to one of
this might be a problem with powerpath, it seems harmless tough
the EMC, we have really bad result :
Personalities : [raid1]
read_ahead 1024 sectors

this is a problem with linux md raid. it does not support fast resync
with a bitmap of changed sectors, there is a project to implement it,
but it is not yet in the standard kernel.
look on the linux-raid mailing list archives for something called 'fast
raid 1'.
i do not believe you would have any advantage in stacking md above lvm
anyway.
