Dear LVM users,
The lvmraid documentation says the following: "To work around some limitations, 
it is possible to remove integrity from the LV, make the change, then add 
integrity again. (Integrity metadata would need to initialized when added 
again.) ... The following are not yet permitted on RAID LVs with integrity: 
lvreduce, pvmove, snapshots, splitmirror, raid syncaction commands, raid 
rebuild."
Does this mean that RAID rebuilds can only be done with integrity temporarily 
turned off? This seems risky given that rebuilds are often when RAID arrays 
undergo the most stress and are thus vulnerable to failures/errors (namely, for 
parity RAID). Additionally, is the suggested workaround for snapshots to 
temporarily turn off integrity when taking/using snapshots?
Thank you!
-CG
