<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div>I'm trying to build an high available nfs server with drbd
and pacemaker. I have some doubts related to the devices and
the drbd resource. Following the guide "NFS on RHEL6" on the
linbit site, I found that under the drbd resource there is a
Logical Volume:</div>

<div>PV -> VG -> LV -> DRBD resource ....</div>

<div>Now i have a large storage server with a /dev/sda of 72TB.
I would use 3TB for nfs, so with gparted I created /dev/sda1
of 3TB. My question is: should I use lvm?Reading <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://askubuntu.com/questions/3596/what-is-lvm-and-what-is-it-used-for">this</a>,
turns out that "<span
style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Ubuntu,Arial,'libra
sans',sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:19.5px">if you
use LVM across hard drives you may loose all your data when
only one drive fails.</span>"</div>
<div>and this is my case, so is this a good idea? Considering
that i don't need to resize /dev/sda1, can I avoid the use of
LVM?</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
