Abstract
In the previous chapter you learned about volumes and the merits of the various volume layouts. You learned how easy it is to specify storage allocations and other features. The relayout feature was discussed, and we made an advance mention of the term layered volume. This chapter will talk about what at first looks like just two more volume layouts: concat-mirror and stripe-mirror. In the more technical sections, especially the technical deep dive, you will see what the idea behind these so-called layered volumes is, and how it enables such features as relayout and RAID-5 mirroring.
