clustered lvm volume activation

[Guy Godfroy]

Hello Timm,

I had exactly the same problem a few weeks ago. It pissed me off quite a 
bit, but I made myself a reason.

My workaround is not to define the volume pool anymore. The domains are 
able to use any volume anyway, even when not part of any pool.

I use custom hooks to activate and deactivate LVs.

Hope that helps,

Guy
