Thanks for all the input.

I wanted to use software RAID on top of LVM because I like the flexibility of giving each logical volume their own unique mirror. This is one feature in Veritas VxVM that I really like.

I know you have to break the mirrors everytime you change the underlying LVs. Not considering management issues, I wanted to know if it is safe and supposed to work.

Thanks.

Paul

In your individual case it is a possibility. OTOH it is not in 99.9% of production configurations.

Throw bills at us and we can probably help it ;-))
