experimeinting with mirroring, other targets

I'm interested in experimenting with some of the new targets that are available in the udm1 kernel (e.g. mirroring, multipath).

I've seen the multipath tools and I'm looking those over.

Is the only way to set up mirroring targets to use the dmsetup tool?

Also, does LVM allow me to layer these targets, for example if I wanted a logical volume that is multipathed, mirrored, and striped?

Thanks!

Yes, but AJ and Alasdair are working on putting the mirroring support into the LVM2 tools.

Absolutely, we rely on that sort of thing a lot (eg. for pvmove).
