Hi! I'm still integrating mirrored LVM volumes in our configuration management system, and the most recent challenge is a volume that is explicitly placed by specifying the PVs the original, the mirror copies, and the mirror log reside on. lvcreate builds a mirrored volume OK that requires multiple segments per copy when you let it determine where to place the segments. But this is not acceptable when you have disks that are located in different locations for fault tolerance = you must be sure that all the segments of a copy reside on disks in a single location. The manpage or the command help for lvcreate do not specify the algorithm that is used in picking the PVs lvcreate uses for the mirror copies or the mirror log. I tried "lvcreate --mirror 1 ... testvg PV0a,PV0b PV1a,PV1b PV2" but that does not work... Please advise. Thank you!
