I assume you mean that you have to use 3 disks if you want to put the log on disk? I mean, you can use 2 disks and have the log in memory, right? In any way, if you indeed need 3 disks when putting the log on disk, then the man page seems to be misleading. > P.S.

Think about it. I currently have a small /boot partition on both disks, mirrored with RAID 1. The rest of the disks are LVM partitions. I like the flexibility of having everything (except /boot) as LVM partitions, rather than separating them into unmirrored and RAID 1 partitions. But maybe I'm just out of luck here...
