What is the best way to deploy LVM in such a way that multiple servers could access the LVs? Really what I'm looking for is a "common VG" for all of our servers. Note though that only one server will actually access each LV, however it would be cool if another server could make a snapshot to perform an rsync backup.
This is what cluster LVM is for. It provides a locking mechanism to avoid conflicting changes to LVM metadata. -- Stuart D. Gathman <stuart@bmsi.com> Business Management Systems Inc.
