quick question about this, been looking for a good solution for this a long time. Any filesystems that can loose connectivity? I have a setup where I can't guarantee all the computers will stay stable, but it's only a setup for temporary storage anyway (1gb networks, temporary storage is for rendering files). > > Yes. This is possible with NBD 2.0 and later (earlier nbd tools has > limitation of 4GB per shared disk/volume/device). You need to > compile the NBD (Network Block Device) module in the kernel too. > > Then simply run on the server (the machines hosting spare volumes): > > nbd-server 10000 /dev/hdax (replace 10009 with the port you want > to use) > > On the client machine (where you want to run LVM to collect all > space; > > nbd-client IP port /dev/nbd/0 > > For each server you connect simply change the IP/port and the NBD > device number.
