	I dont think that Linux LVM has mirroring capabilities at the moment (last time I checked anyway).
	You can setup software RAID instead tho if thats any use, but you would need to do this at install time if it's your OS partitions your on about.
	
	My understanding is RAID->LVM->ext3. If someone knows how to setup RAID on an already built LVM filesystem I'd be glad to hear it.
