how to fool make_recovery

[Ceesjan van Hattum]

Hi,
As far as i've understood, ignite does not support bootable mirrored disks.
Restoring its data will result in one bootable disk and one mirrored disks without bootspace.
vgreduce -> pvcreate -B ->vgextend and others..
is the only solution i know.

Anyway, i do not like to let ignite mirror at all, because i do not like to wait such a long time in case of emergency.
Making the ignite tape in non-mirrored mode is also possible. But unmirroring disks on 24/7-production i don't like either.

Can i fool ignite, by replacing /etc/lvmconf/vg00.conf for vg00.conf.old ?
Will the non-interactive restore forget about the mirror in case the vg00.conf is set for non-mirroring?

No, restoring results in a n unmirrored disk. Period. You have to do the remirrorring yourself.

So, what you want is default behaviour.

The recovery itself might not activate the bootmirror, but after the succesfull recovery, my system reboots and decides to mirror the disks anyway.. (which i do not want).
I think that not the recovery itself, but the system reads the vg00.conf. This file was just recovered from tape, which was made in a mirrored environment.
Who can confirm this ?
