Reply-To: LVM general discussion and development List-Id: LVM general discussion and development List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format="flowed" To: linux-lvm@redhat.com In the case of a pv failure, will the vg that uses that pv become unavailable? Or just the lv that uses the pv? How about at boot time? If a pv is unavailable at boot, will the complete vg be unavailable? Or just the lv using the pv? I'm trying to decide if I should plan a reboot to split my current vg. Currently my vg00 uses pv md2 (raid1 mirror) and sdb3. If sdb fails, I don't want to loose the lvs using the mirror. Is a vg split required to achieve this? Sincerely, Richard van den Beg
