[Linux-cluster] Antwort: Re: clvmd does not create vgs

Wed Mar 10 19:02:04 UTC 2010

It looks there is something I didn't catch from your messages, among them I
think I missed the DRBD thing.

The /dev/VolGroup00/storage are physical devices (pv's) ?

Strange naming as it confuses me to have a VG (VolGroup00) name in it, I
tend to read this naming as being a LV (storage being a LV in VG
VolGroup00...).

Anyway, if possible to have such names for PV's, are you saying that they
are different physical devices on each nodes, the one on node1 being the
source device of your DRBD setup and the one on node2 being the destination
of your DRBD setup ?

I don't know much DRBD to help you, but were you expecting DRBD to create
the VG storage automatically on the destination PV on node2 ?
