Re: LVM mirroring between two eva5000

Hi,

Default should work fine. By default "lvextend -m x /dev/vgxx/lvolx" will extend the mirrors with MWC (Mirror Write Cache on) so during the activation, it will use it to sync up the mirrors. Other than this, there isn't much you can specify while extending the mirrors.

I never heard 'lvm sync write' in LVM. It may be a synonym to something.
