+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #200294 +++ Description of problem: Anaconda to enable LVM2 mirror configuration Additional info: As of FC5, only linear mapped LV can be configurable in anaconda. Other mappings, especially mirror, needs to be configured. -- Additional comment from clumens on 2007-05-02 11:47 EST -- I don't see how we could possibly add support for this, as it's going to be a fairly major change with high risk of introducing new bugs. It's also going to involve a lot of UI and translation changes which we try to avoid for update releases. The correct way to do this is to get it on a bug list for F8 where we can develop and test it, and then work it into the next major release of RHEL. -- Additional comment from pm-rhel on 2007-05-02 12:01 EST -- Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request.

Created attachment 174121 [details] pykickstart pathc to add mirroring options ot the lvm stuff.
Created attachment 174161 [details] Anaconda part of the patch.
Created attachment 174181 [details] updates image I used for my tests against f8t1
I only changed the kickstart part of the installation to activate mirroring. This I hope will serve as a test case for future changes in the gui and text installs. comments are *greatly* appreciated.
Created attachment 175081 [details] more logical kickstart option.
Created attachment 175101 [details] Fixed a bug that the initial patch had :)
The updates image will be at http://jgranado.fedorapeople.org/updates.img
Created attachment 183321 [details] Adding a LogVolData class for the new options.
Created attachment 183341 [details] Same functionality, different way of coding I changed some things in the code to reflect a discussion in the anaconda devel list https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2007-August/msg00071.html In summary I created new classes and methods to implement the mirroring stuff (as discussed in anaconda-devel). the updates.img that I used will be http://jgranado.fedorapeople.org/updates.img. This patch does not Obsolete my previous patch to anaconda. Its just a different way of doing stuff:)
With the storage rewrite going strong all these patches no longer apply. This issue should be addressed for releases after f11.
So is there an actual plan to make this happen in >= f12? Given that bug 512594 was closed WONTFIX, is there actual interest in making this work? This would be a good thing to have in place since it looks like barrier support is being fixed in LVM upstream.
Its too late for f12, and there has not been a great effort to get this in. Patches accepted :)
