You specify a separate device to hold the metadata and write intent bitmap for each data device? So for a 3 disk raid 5, lvm will need to create two logical volumes on each of the 3 physical volumes, one of which will only be a single physical extent, and will hold the raid metadata and write intent bitmap? Why not just store the metadata on the main device like mdadm does today? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
