I seem to remember ( and found some references on the web ) that there used to be a way to change the allocation policy when creating a mirror from the default of strict ( must use different pvs ), but I can't find a mention of strict in the man pages these days. I did see the option for --alloc anywhere but lvconvert still refuses to change an lv into a mirror saying that it can't find the extents ( there are plenty of extents, but only one pv ). How can I forge it to make the mirror on a single pv? Alternatively, how can I create a copy of an lv ( I was planning to mirror, then --splitmirror ). _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
