Thanks, that's very interesting.


A stupid question just to better understand how cLVM works. Forgive me.

I think of cLVM as the LVM with the cluster extension. Any setting on a
shared storage is visible by all the nodes of the cluster.
But what exactly does this mean? At which level (VG or LV) does the
locking library work? Can I enable (active) the same VG on different
nodes? If yes, how cLVM prevent split-brain? I would eventually be able
to load a LV only on one node?

Thanks,
Jan

Can I balance the load running the VMs on several nodes?
