I was just recalling the number of "panics... failed to sync" type of messages as I learned this junk. But I'm really here to say: I've not yet studied the new LVM stuff and have not considered how "mirroring" might help/hinder what we are trying to do. But I'm strong on this "Poor Admin's Backup".
