Log message:
	Disallow mirrored logs in cluster mirrors.
	
	The cluster log daemon (cmirrord) is not multi-threaded and
	can handle only one request at a time.  When a log is stacked
	on top of a mirror (which itself contains a 'core' log), it
	creates a situation that cannot be solved without threading.
	
	When the top level mirror issues a "resume", the log daemon
	attempts to read from the log device to retrieve the log
	state.  However, the log is a mirror which, before issuing
	the read, attempts to determine the 'sync' status of the
	region of the mirror which is to be read.  This sync status
	request cannot be completed by the daemon because it is
	blocked on a read I/O to the very mirror requesting the
	sync status.

 Version 2.02.73 - 
 ================================
+  Disallow 'mirrored' log type for cluster mirrors.
   Do not use VPATH in include/Makefile.
   Fix exported_symbols generation to use standard compiler arguments.
   Use #include <> not "" in lvm2app.h which gets installed on the system.
