Synchronous Mirroring is now available as an addition to the Cluster Logical Volume Manager (CLVM). This provides for two leg mirrors with a single transaction log which tracks blocks as they are duplicated. This is synchronous in that the write is not complete until both legs have been updated. If one side of the mirror is lost, operation will continue on the remaining side. For this first version, even a temporary loss of one side will necessitate a full recovery. This recovery will occur in the back ground. More than 2 legs can be configured, but the loss of any leg will require dropping down to 1 side and the recreation of all others. revised for consistency and style: <quote> Synchronous Mirroring has been added to the Cluster Logical Volume Manager (CLVM).
