Summary: Problem with LVM: Both submirrors "need maintenance"

Hi agn,

and thanks to ponder@discworld.be, David Loesche (DLoesche@yipes.com),
Scott Beardsley (thebofh@gmail.com), Gary Law (shunhelp1@lycos.com) and
Michael Schulte (msu.linux@gmx.de) for responding to my question.
Hmm, most of you suggested to detach and re-attach the mirror, or try to
enable the second mirror first. I did this, and even deleted the entire
mirror, updated /etc/vfstab and /etc/system to tell the machine to boot
from the original disk, re-booted it, and created the mirrors again from
scratch.
Unfortunately, nothing helped me out...
So, I've issued a maintenance window for tomorrow evening. I will try to
shutdown the machine to single-user, and fsck the device to get rid of
the errors.
Let's hope I get it workin' again, if not, I will have to recover from
backup.

Thanks to all,

have a nice hackin',

Harald
