It does offer mirroring, if you initially set it up that way, but other than that, LVM is a lot like the game Jenga: pull the wrong disk from the setup, and the whole thing collapses. At this point, all you can do is replace the drive, and restore from backup. You do keep an up-to-date backup, don't you? If not, consider that lesson learned #2. :) -- . O . O . O . . O O . . .
