What about working towards making LVM cluster aware and making it more available, putting in better failover mechanisms in a clustered environment ... If the work is done for for a hybrid setup (no need to have a shared disk, or you may have a mix of shared disk and just a some disks connected to one of the nodes in the network.) you can save the cost of having to buy expensive disks and switches and can do the work with the available setup in the university. I am myself planning to work towards extending LVM2 for such a setup and we can share our work : )O Thanks, Sharad. > >-----Original Message----- > >From: Kai-Min Sung [mailto:k@kaisung.com] > >Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2003 11:25 AM > >To: Linux-lvm@sistina.com > >Subject: [linux-lvm] extending LVM for school project > > > >Hey everyone, > > I'm a masters student taking a distributed systems project class > >and would like to work on extending LVM.
