[PVE-User] Proxmox, iSCSI, Mirrored LVM?

[Eneko Lacunza]

Hi,

Some time ago I did some (non-extensive) tests and I didn't like what I 
saw. It seemed LVM wouldn't warn when a RAID1 had a failed disk, LV 
seemed to behave wrongly and so on.

If your environment allows it, I recommend to use mdraid, even if your 
have to do it on different PV LVs; although it'd be better to use 
disk->md->lvm .

Cheers
Eneko
