Hi,

Linux's LVM implementation is from HP-UX and doesn't do mirroring for that you
need another application. IBM's original LVM solution can do mirroring of a
within a volume group, so you don't need a RAID application first.

Apparently it's now possible to do this in Linux, from Debian Etch and Centos
4 era systems. However I've not found out how, almost everyone talks about
running LVM2 on top of standard Linux software RAID.

Anyone know how?
