[dm-devel] raid1 round-robin scheduler

[Heinz Mauelshagen]

dm-mirror (i.e. "lvcreate --type mirror" or respective "dmsetup create 
--table ...",
which is not the recommended raid1 layout any more) provides read 
round-robin since long time.
You'd need an ancient kernel not to have it supported.

"raid1"/"raid10" (the recommended targets) , i.e. the md-raid based 
mappings accessible via the dm-raid target
do read optimizations as well. Use "lvcreate --type raid1/raid10 ..." or 
a respective dm table to set
those up. The former ("raid1") is the default in modern distributions 
and configurable via setting
'mirror_segtype_default = "raid1"' in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf.
