Hello,
I have some trouble converting a large (approx. 2TiB) mirrored partition to raid1. It
worked just fine with a small partition (after I reduced the big one by
1 GB to allow for the rmeta partitions).
I first tried this using the standard Ubuntu lvm2, then compiled a
newer version myself; no dice. (The following is without any -R
options, but adding those seems to make no difference whatsoever.)
(From googling, the root problem is that this needs a bigger
region_size so as to not create more regions than MD can cope with.)
My next plan is to take away one hd's mirror partition, create a new
one-hd raid1 partition, move the data, drop the remaining mirrored
partition, and create a second partition for the raid1 ...
Attached are the logs from
log {
file="/tmp/lvm2.log"
level=7
activation=1
}
The _log it complains about is the former log conf, renamed so I'd not
lose it.
Hope that's enough info.
