Hi, It would be neat if there was a way to flag that a particular volume group should not be activated by default, typically at boot time, i.e. running 'vgchange -ay' shouldn't activate it. This is especially useful in clustering environments, when you want to "share" a volume group across several nodes for redundancy, but only activate it on one node at a time. As of now, I patch rc.sysinit for this. Of course one could make a config file of sorts that rc.sysinit would use to determine whether a VG should be activated or not. But IMHO this should rather be a LVM feature, implemented as a flag in the metadata of a volume group. So my question is: Is this sort of thing planned in the forseeable future? If not, please consider this a feature request :) Cheers, -- Trond Hasle Amundsen <t.h.amundsen@usit.uio.no> Center for Information Technology Services, University of Oslo _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
