I have been playing with lvconvert but I can't quite figure out what it is
doing. If I start with this:
Debian# lvs -o +devices
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Devices
lvol0 vg1 -wima- 7.81G /dev/hde2(0)
Then run:
Debian# lvconvert -m1 vg1/lvol0
I get this:
Debian# lvs -o +devices
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Devices
lvol0 vg1 mwima- 7.81G lvol0_mlog 2.75 lvol0_mimage_0
(0),lvol0_mimage_1(0)
So my first question is how do I find out where the mirror really is? I have
also tried specifying the physical volume at the end of the command to put
the mirror on a different pv but then I get this error message:
Debian# lvconvert -m1 vg1/lvol0 /dev/hdg1
Not enough PVs with free space available for parallel allocation.
Consider --alloc anywhere if desperate.
Thank you for any insight.
