wow, that smells like a logic bug to me. If not, then the documentation needs a VERY obvious warning about how to properly do mirrored devices with mirrored logs (nee 4+ distinct PV devices). If the internals can't be fixed, then it needs to error out on creation when there aren't 4 devices to work with. Any particular reason why you wanted pseudo-external logs in the first place?
Does 'lvcreate -nv' show you the work plan?
Yet lvconvert looks the right tool for me if I could overcome this limitation. I guess you meant 'lvconvert' instead of 'lvcreate' because lvcreate works fine and I don't think it needs to be debugged. The only drawback is that I need a much more complicated migration.
In case you needed the "lvconvert" here it is (pretty long) the output of
lvconvert -vvv -m1 --mirrorlog mirrored /dev/lvgrptstnlvm/root /dev/sdb1
root@debian:/home/user# lvconvert -vvv -m1 --mirrorlog mirrored /dev/lvgrptstnlvm/root /dev/sdb1
Processing: lvconvert -vvv -m1 --mirrorlog mirrored /dev/lvgrptstnlvm/root /dev/sdb1
