Use case is : Two luns are mapped from storage array to linux host which are in same SAN fabric . we want to create a mirror on the linux host with these two luns and let  host use that mirror lun .  basic tests suggest that dm_mirror working fine . when we have any intermittent path issues with between host and san array , host i/o just freeze , never returns back even after the path is online. 


Hard to tell what's happening without any kernel log.

 

Is dm_mirror viable solution here  ?. Can you point me any link which gives the limitations of dm_mirror ? . another alternate solutions you propose here ?. Thanks in advance .


We've switched the default away from "mirror" to "raid1" in order to take advantage of th MD runtime.
Have you tested  "lvcreate --type raid1 ..." yet?
Please do.
