In fact, it works very much the same way as MD, because it uses the same kernel module to perform it. You can also check-out ‘lvconvert —splitmirror —trackchanges …’. This would allow you to temporarily split off a RAID1 leg and then reintroduce it later while only updating the portions that have changed. When you use the ‘raid1’ segment type (the default upstream and in RHEL7) and not the ‘mirror’ segment type, a transient failure can be recovered while only resyncing the changes. brassow _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
