[linux-lvm] Use lvcreart -m to make a mirror

[Fang,Dongyu]

Thanks your replay.
How can I mount the "original" (mimage_0) or the "mirror" (mimage_1) 
single?
Because I want to verify it write/read data in both LV indeed.
And how can I remove the mirror relation between the two LV(let the 
"original" and "mirror" become two singe LV)?   (I use `lvconvert -m 0 
vg1/mirror1`  then LVs become one.)
