A GFS filesystem is always created on one device, just like a "normal" fs, so if you need to span 2 disks, you need clvmd to create a VG that includes those two disks. Then create a LV on that VG on which you put the GFS fs. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
