Re: Mirror and striping.

You can't have true LVM Striping and mirroring with LVM (combining -i -I and -m options to lvcreate).

What you can have is Distributed striping along with mirroring. With distributed striping your "stripe" size is the same size as the PE size you set up the VG with. With distributed striping you use the '-D y' option with lvcreate. You must also set up Physical Volume Groups (PVG) the Distributed striping "stripes" across all disks in the PVG. You would then set up your mirror with the PVG-strict option (-m 1 -s g with lvcreate).

I hope this answered your "question".
