LVM: mirrored/redundant/duplicate mirror log
PATCH 1/1 LVM: mirrored/redundant/duplicate mirror log
I found a bug in the previous patches that were disrupting the workings of 'lvconvert --repair'. I was not properly grabbing the first item of a list (and checking for NULL).
I am also having some mysterious trouble running the testsuite. I am getting different results between identical runs. I'm not sure if I have some old dmeventd running or what...
Also, people are unhappy with "redundant" as the name of the log type. Other suggestions? "mirrored"? "duplicated"?

"reduntant" is used such as by "redundant system," and familiar key word to me. Otherwise, how about "dual-disk"? It will work for two disks. Or "multi-disk" for more than two disks?
Thanks,
Taka

I like 'mirrored'. If not 'mirrored', I would go with 'multidisk'
Thanks, Malahal.

My point is that the log is not redundant.
There are two copies of the log data - one is necessary, the other could be considered redundant. But the descriptive term here describes the *entire* log, only part, not all, of which is "redundant".
