For people using LVM (or clvm) on shared storage, I encourage you to take a look at two recent additions that you may find to be an improvement: 1. System ID is for static ownership of VGs by hosts: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/lvmsystemid.7.html The nearest equivalent to system ID in the past has been configuring lvm.conf filters uniquely on each host. 2. lvmlockd is for dynamically sharing VGs among hosts: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/lvmlockd.8.html Using lvmlockd with dlm is similar to what clvmd has done in the past. Using lvmlockd with sanlock has no prior equivalent. (For distribution packaging, see the "lvm2-lockd" rpm.)
