The use of a standard for your volume names can simplify administration and enable you at a glance to identify the volume type. Here are a few suggestions:
Use ranges for each type of volume. For example, assign numbers 0–20 for RAID-1 volumes, 21–40 for RAID-0 volumes, and so on.
Use a naming relationship for mirrors. For example, name mirrors with a number that ends in zero (0), and submirrors that end in one (1), two (2), and so on. For example, you might name mirrors as follows: mirror d10, submirrors d11 and d12; mirror d20, submirrors d21, d22, d23, and d24. In an example using descriptive names, you could use a naming relationship such as employee_mirror1 for a mirror with employee_sub1 and employee_sub2 comprising the submirrors.
Use a naming method that maps the slice number and disk number to volume numbers.
