As a way to migrate away from a possibly failing disk in a single-disk
system without md RAID, I've moved the disk to another system, plugged
in a second disk and added that disk as a lvm raid1 mirror, converting
my system to lvmraid. Consequently I've noticed that on boot, one of
the disks is not attached to the LVs and so I have to refresh each LV
with `lvchange --refresh` and the system then syncs the LVs to the
additional drive. The sync process is quick due to the lvmraid write
bitmaps and low amount of disk writes during boot but it is annoying to
have to run the sync manually on every boot. In case it changes
anything, both of the PVs are on top of individual encrypted LUKS
volumes. I'm not sure how to change the initramfs scripts but maybe the
lvmraid(7) manual page or the RedHat LVM RAID guide will help:
