Mirroring can be set at VG level, either synchronous or
assynchronous.

I don't recall if this was set at VG or LV level, but default
allocation for LV could be in a most PV or least PV fashion, LV
could also have PV allocated in an explicitly (down to the PP map,
the minimum allocation unit for physical volumes -- usually 4 Mb).
FS are allocated 1-to-1 on LV.

(MMmmm.... I notice my memory did indeed fail me on previous
mails...)
