I checked your patch set. It seems that one of my suggestion has not
been implemented yet, and some of my tests failed.

https://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm-devel/2010-February/msg00214.html

In this patch set, _lvconvert_mirrors_aux() repairs in the order
of mirror images and mirror log. As I explained in the above url,
mirror log should be repaired before mirror images are repaired
because the repair procedure of the mirror image calls suspend_lv()
and that causes deadlock. The deadlock happens because suspending
LV with failed log device doesn't finish.

What do you think calling _lv_update_log_type() before and after
repairing mirror legs in _lvconvert_mirrors_aux()?

Other tests worked well so far. Thank you for fixing issues.

Thanks,
Taka
