The README could have a more lines to better explain how to interact with device mapper. Yeah, sorry 'bout that. New LVM packages are needed that support mirroring. LVM will "do the right thing" when it encounters volume groups that are clustered vs non-clustered, and you should be able to switch between the two w/o having to re-sync your volume. If you'd like to use [cluster] mirroring before LVM is ready, I'll give you the table arguments. Note that LVM has a big part in how recovery happens. brassow -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
