[DRBD-user] LVM PV on drbd block device

[Juan Antonio Rodriguez]

Hello and thank you very much to yours Gianluca and Andreas.

which kind of cluster?
Only Primary - Secondary drbd cluster.

which kind of Linux distribution/release?
Debian lenny in both nodes.

which kind of usage then of the LVs/FS to be created?
LVs will be iscsi targets for a xen server.

I believe clvm will be useful.

Again, thank you very much Gianluca.
