Q19: Why does LVM not support mirroring?
A19: Mirroring or other levels of RAID on a per Logical Volume
base decreases reliability because you have to take care of
which Logical Volumes are mirrored and which ones are not.
I recommend to use dedicated hardware RAID subsystems or Multiple
Devices to have the redundancy below the LVM. In this case you
just don't care about Logical Volume data redundancy and you don't
run into the dangerous situation that your data is not redundant
by accident.
If you do have these kind of devices in place you can setup RAID
10/40/50
if you want to because the LVM supports RAID0. Combining for eg.
several
hardware RAID5 subsystems in a volume group to set up LVM-RAID0
gives you
reliability, performance and flexibility at the same time.
