[linux-lvm] add mirror to already existing LV?

[linux-lvm] add mirror to already existing LV?

[Don Buchholz]

  I have Fedora 8 system with operating system installed on a small
(18GB) hard disk.  A second disk (320GB) is being added to hold
user data.  Now that there is a second disk, I would like to alter
the existing LVs so they have mirrors.  Is this possible?
  I couldn't find anything that looked promising on the lvchange(8)
man page.

I think that for each existing Lv you have to make lvconvert -m1 /dev/
vg00/lv00_root and so on. at the end you have fully mirrored your existing 
LV.
