What about adding a "boot" flag to LVs? It set, it could have the following effect: . Tools will ensure that the LV remains linear and contiguus and at the beginning of a PV. . (Later) the LV is mirrored into every PV marked "bootable". With these features, an OS could be booted from any disk. With mirroring (RAID-on-LVM) you could boot a system even if your primary disk fails. Claus
