Hi<div><br></div><div>Naturally, you can use drbd without clvm if you use standard primary/seconadry scheme and run lvm on primary only. Probably you can also lock LVM metadata operations using locking_type = 4 on host you are not going to run lvm commands on. The main problem of this approach is that you won't have your VGs and LVs activated on the 'passive' host until you do vgchange -a y on it, and on startup either. This can be fixed, of course, by means of cron and rc scripts.<br>

wondering if there is a simple way of using lvm on drbd without
the headache of clvmd. Getting clvmd and corosync to run on
Ubuntu is very much a square-peg/round-hole situation. I hate
the way clvmd can lock me out of vg's for no good reason.
Heartbeat, corosync, and clvmd seems to be overkill for what I'm
doing - two KVM boxes with drbd backing store. Would be more
appropriate to crontab vgscan?<br>
