Using iSCSI or ATAoE you can export the extra space from each of the system as devices that will appear to be block devices. From there you can add them to a vg anytime you want. Just be careful how you do it because if one of the systems goes off the network you will not have access to the data from that drive. Also I'm not so sure how well LVM deals with having a drive dissappear out from underneath it. -- Zac Slade krakrjak@volumehost.net ICQ:1415282 YM:krakrjak AIM:ttyp99 _______________________________________________ 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/
