I was wondering why this can't use LVM internal structures for storing
it (like for example on HP-UX). Having to use 3rd disk is not very
practical (as is not the requirement to re-sync whole LV in case of
disk failure when the LV is really big). I don't remember now if HP-UX
uses the headers of VG or LV to track these changes. But is there any
reason, why this couldn't use for example first LE of LV?
