Hello,

Isn't it how it is supposed to work, the exclusive flag standing for that ?

>From what I saw on other systems, especially on HP-UX from which Linux LVM
was much inspired, on a cluster, when activating exclusively (vgchange -ae
VGxx ) a VG on a node, the exclusive flag is set on the VG preventing the
other nodes from activating the volume as long as the holding node is alive.
