Thanks Karl and Marcin, I hadn't realised software RAID worked on a per partition basis. I'm looking into it now. If mirroring on LVM is stable though, it might still be preferrable as then I only have to use one set of tools instead of two --- can anyone comment on how stable they've found mirroring under LVM. Also does the fact that software RAID doesn't use a disk log mean that LVM is actually better/faster than RAID at correctly recovering from crashes that leave the mirrored disks out of sync? > The amount of log data is small - on my test setup for creating 1GB mirrored > LV log fit into single 16MB PE - don't know how much of it was left freee > though. Were you able to specify which PV the log was created on?
