Got the right doc,
 
the log device MUST belong to the VG, it cannot be an external device, it is specified as thrid device vhen creating the LV:
 
lvcreate -m1 --mirrorlog disk  -L 9G -n lvolvm1 VMVG /dev/firstleg /dev/secondleg /dev/log...

Hi,
 
I've been struggling with lvcreate for more than  a hour to create a mirror'ed LV with on disk log, with no success (I'm ashamed! :-| )
 
 
Here's what I typed on a VG (with 2 X 8678 4MB extents free), it's not a free space issue...
 
lvcreate -m1 --mirrorlog disk  -L 9G -n lvolvm1 VMVG, it complains about 2304 more extents required (wich make the exact size of the LV I want to create), plus where to define the log device to use ?
 
same command whith --corelog (instead of --mirrorlog disk) succeeds.
 
Same command without any of these 2 options fails with the same  complain as the first (man page says that default no option == mirrolog disk).
 
Any tip ?
 
Regards
