Hi!
I'm trying to use Openfiler with setup LVM+ DRBD+failover.
I have problem with LVM error when server shutdown and another should
take over.

1. If I will shutdown main, Secondary start up with no problem.
2. But when I shutdown Secondary (now Master), main (now backup) cannot
start up and shows errors with descriptor.
LVM[8796]:      2007/09/10_14:55:26 INFO: Deactivating volume group
vg0_sites
LVM[8796]:      2007/09/10_14:55:26 INFO: File descriptor 3 left open
File descriptor 5 left open File descriptor 6 left open File descriptor
7 left open File descriptor 8 left open File descriptor 9 left open File
descriptor 10 left open File descriptor 11 left open File descriptor 12
left open 0 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg0_sites" now active

Later if I will manually take over drbd I cannot see files created on
another machine.

Does anybody know solution for this problem? Is it possible to force LVM
to close descriptors?

Regards,
Hans
