[linux-lvm] Mirrored disks copying after boot

[David Benham]

Hi,

I have LVM2 2.02.25 on linux Kernel 2.6.81 (built using LFS 6.0)
I have 2 x 320Gb and an 80Gb drive.
Here is /etc/lvm/backup/vg0 file contents:-

                                stripes = [

                                ]
                        }
                }
        }
}


Whenever I reboot, an LVS show copy% with a value for many hours.
I guess it is 'resync'ing, but why when the log is on disk and not using a 'corelog'?

Thanks
