<br>
My setup is like that:<br>
<br>
<hardware raid><br>
|<br>
<partition><br>
|<br>
<PV(s)><br>
|<br>
<VG><br>
|<br>
<LV(s)><br>
|<br>
<DRBD><br>
|<br>
<FS or vm in a plain LV><br>
<br>
<br>
This should work ?<br>
Which setup did you discuss with RH ? Your old one or mine ?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>He talked about his. Your setup is fine. You can use the DRBD devices directly as disks for VMs, it is in fact a great practice with dual-primaries. Using a file on a filesystem for the VM disk will add considerable overhead and complication.</div>
