Mirroring should be dealt with in LVM itself, by mapping more PEs on physical
seperate PVs to each LE. From the little information I've seen about the new LVM
mirroring, it seems that the mirrors are defined on LV level instead of LE/PE.
But after some JFGI sessions nothing really enlightening has shown up.
