I believe this is the reference.
http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Cluster_Logical_Volume_Manager/mirrorrecover.html
Their example may be in error.
Upon review, I think it's correct, but worded awkwardly:
In this example, the primary leg of the mirror |/dev/sda1| fails.
Any write activity to the mirrored volume causes LVM to detect the
failed mirror. When this occurs, LVM converts the mirror into a
single linear volume. In this case, to trigger the conversion, we
execute a |dd| command
[root@link-08 ~]#*|dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vg/groupfs count=10|*
10+0 records in
10+0 records out
I believe the dd is not to cause the failure, it's simply to generate
write activity to the volume group after the mirror leg has been caused
to fail through other means not documented.
Anyone else think that's the case?
