Hello I am using LVM on SLES 10+sp2 on a test server. $ lvs --version LVM version: 2.02.17 (2006-12-14) Library version: 1.02.13 (2006-11-28) Driver version: 4.7.0 I have only 2 disk devices, but noticed that newer versions of LVM allow me to do mirroring directly in VM. So I created a mirror via: vgcreate vg01 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb5 lvcreate vg01 --corelog --mirrors 1 --name XX-m \ --size 125G I have used /dev/md* type mirrors, built via mdadm before. What are the pros and cons of the 2 approaches? I have read the man page entry for --corelog option, and appreciate the re-sync on reboot for the mirror. I also know that with md* type mirrors I can see current status via /proc/mdstat, is there an equivalent for LVM mirrors? Even if I had an extra device for logs, is there any advantage in the LVM mirroring over the md* mirroring? Thanks, KM _______________________________________________ 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/
