I was experimenting with lvs and ran the following lvcreate command. The issue is 
that at least two physical volumes are spread between mirrors. Devices /dev/sdb5 
and /dev/sdb6 are part of both lvol0_mimage_0 and lvol0_mimage_1. I tried diffent
"-alloc" values but nothing changed. In my testing I had all the pvs on one drive
but of course I wouldn't do that on a real server.
