Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Corey Marthaler 2016-08-24 21:39:44 UTC
Description of problem:
This worked in rhel7.2 (lvm2-2.02.130-5.el7_2.5) as well as up to rhel7.3 (lvm2-2.02.162-1.el7) and was then turned off in lvm2-2.02.163-1.el7.

Comment 2 Heinz Mauelshagen 2016-08-24 22:27:05 UTC
In RHEL-7.2, the -i2 option was silently ignored and a raid1 mapping was created with 2 legs. We are aiming at avoiding such implicit layouts, so this is a known decision. The error message you see "Conversion operation..." is a result of this direction we're following.
What should really happen is resulting in a raid10_near layout (raid10 being an acronym for raid10_near) with 2 stripes across 2 mirror groups with 2 legs each.
For that to occur, agk will review/integrate more takeover code I have aiming
at RHEL-7.4.

"lvconvert -m1 -lN [--ty raid1 -nLV] VG" should be used instead to get the raid1 layout explicitely
