This is normally not the case, and correctly you should use the init command to first bring them to a consistent state. In the case of striped and concatenated plexes, however, it does not normally cause problems to leave them inconsistent: when using a volume for a file system or a swap partition, the previous con- tents of the disks are not of interest, so they may be ignored. If you want to take this risk, use this keyword. It will only apply to the plexes defined immediately after the volume in the configuration file. If you add plexes to a volume at a later time, you must integrate them. You can fix this with 'start mirror.p1.s0'. You should also look at the 'mirror' command.
