Hi list,
I had a LV that I was converting from linear to mirrored (not
raid1) whose source device failed partway-through during the initial
sync.
I've since recovered the source device, but it seems like the
mirror is still acting as if some blocks are not readable? I'm getting
this in my logs, and the FS is full of errors:

However, if I take down the destination device and restart the LV
with --activateoption partial, I can read my data and everything
checks out.
My theory (and what I observed) is that lvm continued the initial
sync even after the source drive stopped responding, and has now
mapped the blocks that it 'synced' as dead. How can I make lvm retry
those blocks again?
In fact, I don't trust the mirror anymore, is there a way I can
conduct a scrub of the mirror after the initial sync is done? I read
about --syncaction check, but seems like it only notes the number of
inconsistencies. Can I have lvm re-mirror the inconsistencies from the
source to destination device? I trust the source device because we ran
a btrfs scrub on it and it reported that all checksums are valid.
It took months for the mirror sync to get to this stage (actually,
why does it take months to mirror 20TB?), I don't want to start it all
over again.
Warm regards,
Liwei
