So, I have been using the lvm mirror target on CentOS 5.1

and gives me much more flexibility than putting my PVs on md devices.
The other day I tried to create a snapshot:
lvcreate -s -L 100M -d hydra_domU/test -n test_snap
it returned:

is the mirror target still under active development? or is it a problem
with my setup?
thanks.
There is a bug that "lvconvert -s" can create snapshot of a mirror ... and
to my surprise, once it was created this way, it worked.
So maybe we could remove this restriction at all. There was some concern
that dmeventd may misbehave in this situation. lvm commands seem to handle
snapshots of a mirror fine.
