I'm not seeing a whole lot here other than what appears to be this flat
out refusal to use extents from the same pv:
#metadata/lv_manip.c:2535 Not using free space on existing
parallel PV /dev/md1.
Limiting the allocation to two specific extent ranges does not help either.
Full log:
#libdm-config.c:1061 Setting
allocation/mirror_logs_require_separate_pvs to 0
#metadata/lv_manip.c:3439 Adjusted allocation request to 7681
