More generally, can LVM perform RAID1-style mirroring with only two disks (without having to re-copy everything each boot) (and, of course, being recoverable in case either disk fails)?You should be able to force LVM to create a log device on one of your two devices (--alloc anywhere)
So what happens if the disk containing the log dies? Does LVM keep running (presenting the logical volume implemented on the physical volumes on the still-working disk)? (And what happens at reboot time (with the failed disk still in place)?) Thanks, Daniel -- Daniel B. dsb smart net
