I see ... Well, there are two good reasons I cannot have cLVM: need snapshots
and it's simply not available for SELS10, so I'm going to keep on asking if
permitted.
- What if I would use a seperate volume group for every LV (and for every Xen
guest)? Would that help? I suppose not really, since the Xen guest should be
migratable, meaning that all nodes would need to have a consistent view no all
VG's and LV's.
- would snapshotting change the LVM meta data?
Cheers,
Bart
