[linux-lvm] LVM2 mirror segment monitoring function failed

[Grzegorz Wierzowiecki]

Hi,

thanks Alasdair for fast reply.

May I ask to make sure I got you right ?

Do I got it right to "not-hurry" with running dmeventd (and to run it
later with rc init scripts) ?

thx for reference.

Big thanks for info, I'll try to cooperate with arch distro guys and
try to patch rc.sysinit .

Do I got it right, that even without dmeventd, mirroring is working
fine, but lvm2 might be not aware of disk failure ?

Am I right that because data will be mirrored, so even in case of disk
failure they will be safe (maybe except of just moment of failure,
what may impact system, but hanging it or sth like that?).
