Hi,
I tried create mirror for root fs - lvol1.

dunco:~# lvs
  LV    VG   Attr   LSize   Origin Snap%  Move Log Copy%
  lvol1 vg00 -wi-ao 200.00M
  lvol2 vg00 -wi-ao   1.00G
  lvol3 vg00 -wi-ao 644.00M
  lvol4 vg00 -wi-ao 400.00M
  lvol5 vg00 -wi-ao 100.00M
  lvol6 vg00 -wi-ao   1.00G
  lvol7 vg00 mwi-a-  52.00M                         46.15
dunco:~#

I ran lvconvert -dv -m 1 --corelog /dev/vg00/lvol1 /dev/hda2
    Checking for existing volume group "vg00"
    Archiving volume group "vg00" metadata (seqno 40).
    Creating logical volume lvol1_mimage_0
    Creating logical volume lvol1_mimage_1
    Creating volume group backup "/etc/lvm/backup/vg00" (seqno 41).
    Found volume group "vg00"
    Found volume group "vg00"
    Creating vg00-lvol1_mimage_0
    Loading vg00-lvol1_mimage_0 table
    Resuming  (253:7)
    Creating vg00-lvol1_mimage_1
    Loading vg00-lvol1_mimage_1 table
    Resuming  (253:8)
    Loading vg00-lvol1 table
    Suspending vg00-lvol1 (253:0)

And after that lvconvert hanging. I used strace and I found that command
hanging on fsync

...
write(2, "Suspending vg00-lvol1 (253:0)", 29Suspending vg00-lvol1 (253:0)) =
29
write(2, "\n", 1
)                       = 1
ioctl(3, DM_DEV_SUSPEND, 0x8116918)     = 0
rename("/etc/lvm/metadata/vg00.tmp", "/etc/lvm/metadata/vg00") = 0
stat64("/etc/lvm/metadata/vg00.tmp", 0xbf9f8464) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
open("/etc/lvm/metadata", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 7
fsync(7


I tried to create mirror on another lvols and I can do it.
