All nodes bar one will mount two GFS files systems from a SAN. We will used lvm2-cluster on all nodes. All the GFS partitions will use LVM. I've defined locking_type = 2 and locking_library = "liblvm2clusterlock.so" in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf on all nodes. My question is: Can I mount a VDISK from the SAN as a block device with an ext3 filesystem on it and mount GFS partitions at the same time? Given that LVM will be configured on this node with locking_type = 2 and locking_library = "liblvm2clusterlock.so" The filesystems will be mounted on unique mount points on the host. Can I also mount yet another VDISK on the same node this time ext3 on LVM? </blockquote><div>Yes, why not? Just define the volume group you create with that VDISK as non-clustered. All in all, the VDISK should be visible only to "the one" node so the others won't notice there is some lvm stuff there. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I would emphasize that only one node will mount the ext3 filesystems. I guess this is permissable but I wanted to check.
