----- Original Message ----- | Hi, | | I have a file server from SuperMicro that has two servers plus 16 sata | disks shared for the two servers. I have created a software raid with | one of the servers using the 16 disks and on top of the md created an | lvm volume with has a gfs2 partition. | The question is if it's safe that the second server uses the md device | (and pv) to access the gfs2 partition as I'm concerned about both | servers touching md and lvm metadata at the same time. | Regards, Nope. GFS2 will only work properly with hardware RAID (or no RAID), but not software raid.
