Description Corey Marthaler 2011-06-09 15:13:47 UTC 
Description of problem:
Currently when a striped mirror leg is failed, lvm replaces it with a non striped leg.

# BEFORE the stripe leg failure

Comment 2 Alasdair Kergon 2011-10-17 19:51:32 UTC 
It goes onto the list of low-priority enhancements to consider.  I doubt it will happen for 5.8.

Currently, striping parameters are a property of the allocation *event*.
They are not LV parameters.

So to do this, we'd either need to change the allocation model or else the leg replacement code would need a way to be told or to decide whether to use striping.

Perhaps we can find a clever way to do it, but it needs some careful thought.  Leave as NEW for now.
Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 06:38:34 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 23:56:32 UTC 
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
Comment 8 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2012-11-19 15:31:16 UTC 
Moving to rhel6.5.  This bug may eventually be closed WONTFIX.  We now have RAID10 and this old method of doing RAID-01 makes little sense.  That makes the priority of this bug extremely low.
Comment 9 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2013-10-11 02:58:13 UTC 
I am closing this bug WONTFIX, for the reasons in comment 8.
