Mirroring should be dealt with in LVM itself, by mapping more PEs on physical seperate PVs to each LE.

But after some JFGI sessions nothing really enlightening has shown up. -- //Morten Torstensen //Email: morten@mortent.org //IM: Cartoon@jabber.no morten.torstensen@gmail.com And if it turns out that there is a God, I don't believe that he is evil.
