Re: Use lvcreart -m to make a mirror

Thanks your replay.
How can I mount the "original" (mimage_0) or the "mirror" (mimage_1) single?
Because I want to verify it write/read data in both LV indeed.
And how can I remove the mirror relation between the two LV(let the "original" and "mirror" become two singe LV)? (I use `lvconvert -m 0 vg1/mirror1` then LVs become one.)

I think the LV mirror1 is the origin LV, mirror1_mlog is log, the two
others should be images LV, so why there are two images(in my opinion,
it should be only one), and I how to use then? Can I mount it?

/dev/vg1/mirror1 is the device you mount, the _mimage_ are internal devices
for LVM. You have the "original" (mimage_0) and the mirror (mimage_1).

The later revisions of LVM will hide these from the lvscan & lvs commands.
