Changing the size of an LV is a lot easier than changing the size of a DRBD device (in my experience) - if nothing else. It also means that you can have a single DRBD device split into as many LVs as you like (e.g. I've got mysql, apache, smaba, and asterisk on a 2 node cluster using a single DRBD device under it). > However when I attempt the pvcreate I get the following error: > Device /dev/drbd0 not found (or ignored by filtering) There are quite a few reasons for this. The most likely (or at least the ones that I've hit myself in my build/testing): - It's not in "primary" mode - clvmd isn't running - the machine's already seeing it as another name. if you run "pvcreate -vvvv /dev/drbd0" and post the results (either on the list or direct, if it's deemed 'OT') - that should explain what's going on. Given that you're going down the GFS2 route, have you got the rest of the Redhat Cluster stuff running? Graham (BTW: I've got the cluster running, but get kernel oops as soon as I try to use GFS/GFS2, so I'm interested in feedback about it working on DRBD)
