If locking_type is set to 3, lvm reports:

root at lxserv0:~# lvm version
  Unknown locking type requested.
  Locking type 3 initialisation failed.

LVM2 was compiled according to the instructions in usage.txt:

Install LVM2/CLVM (optional)
  cvs -d :pserver:cvs at sources.redhat.com:/cvs/lvm2 login cvs
  cvs -d :pserver:cvs at sources.redhat.com:/cvs/lvm2 checkout LVM2
  cvs -d :pserver:cvs at sources.redhat.com:/cvs/lvm2
  the password is "cvs"
  cd LVM2
  ./configure --with-clvmd=cman --with-cluster=shared
  make; make install

Peeking into the source code, type 3 would be supported if LVM2 was 
configured as '--with-cluster=internal'.

Should I recompile LVM2?

Best regards,
Jozsef
