I'd like some opinions on how to coalesce 6 partitions of 2TB each over 3 PCs. So the total filesystem size is about 12TB. I tried using gnbd to export from 2 servers and used LVM on the master to create the 12TB logical volume out of 2 local partitions and 4 gnbd partitions. mkfs -t xfs got stuck waiting for Disk I/O. I tried several other variations and couldn't make it work. I posted the results on the LVM mailing list but wanted to get other suggestions on what other software can be used. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
