Subject: [gentoo-user] Is it possible to mirror 2 drives, that are currently striped in LVM2?
Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2005 17:50:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1a7a8cea7b5c75d4afe758fdc2498279@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi Guys,

the subject says it all, but i'll go into more detail now, if anyone 
would be interested in helping. I currently have my system installed on 
2 40GB IDE drives. They are in an LVM volumegroup, and the 2 drives are 
striped. What i need to do is transform this "striped disk cluster" 
into a mirror. (preferably using the most cheapest and painless 
method). I kind of know my way around LVM, so i don't really need a 
_totally_ detailed answer, but i need to know, if this that i am trying 
to accomplish is
a) possible
b) what are the steps that i should follow in order to do this?

I was thinking like this: use pvmove or something to move all of the 
pv's from one disk to the other, then reduce the volumegroup (remove 
the disk eg physical volume from it) add it as a mirror...

can someone confirm, if this is theright way to go, or if not, could 
anyone please suggest how i could accomplish this task...
thanks

jakub krajcovic
