hello, i plan to setup a fileserver with 2 nodes for ha and 1 san-device for storege. Bescause the san-device have noch snapshot option (budget), ihave to snapshot with lvm2 for backup. so my testsetup with onde node works fine, exept the snapshot. if I try to snapshot I get root@kain ~]# lvcreate -L1G -s -n snap /dev/data/home Logging initialised at Mon Jan 23 11:37:41 2006 Set umask to 0077 Loaded external locking library liblvm2clusterlock.so Setting chunksize to 16 sectors.
