Otherwise use corelog > for your lvcreate command and you should be able to create mirrored LV. I tried converting my lv to a mirrored one with --corelog, which worked perfectly. However, after a reboot, the mirror is being recreated, which takes quite some time and leaves me with a largely unresponsive system. Is there some way around this? Would having the log on the master disk fix this? If so, does it need it's own PV or LV or neither? Thanks!
