Hi, clusters all have one major problem to solve: split brain. Make sure that the node manipulating the LV/VG does indeed have the right to do so, and doesn't screw up everything for everybody. Maybe introduce a (LV/VG) master concept into the VG, so as long as that is set, no other node in the cluster will manipulate anything in the vg.
