Hi, I was thinking of using a mirrored LV as a easier to use alternative to a RAID1 PV (with matching VG and LV). I tried to find the information I need on how this works and how to set it up, but so far, I failed. First, am I right in trying to use LVM in this way? I have two disks, and I just want to mirror some LVs. Second, I am confused by the apparent need to have this log stored on another device. Actually, this doesn't seem true in two ways: There's the option of having the log in memory and then the documentation only says that the log is 'usually on a separate device'. Does that mean that using a mirrored LV makes no sense on a system with two disks? Or should I just keep the log in memory in this case? Or can I use another PV on one of the disks? Should this be mirrored as well? What happens if I loose that data? >From what I found when searching for answers, it seems that I'm not the only one that's confused... But maybe my searching skills are just lacking. Anyway, I appreciate any help and insights!
