Yeah, I've been reading the docs. What was confusing me was the second
line. Why does it show a second device?
Is there any documentation on setting up with LVM, or is it even possible?
I've been trying to make it work, for a couple of days. If I set up drbd
first then try to create the LVM on top, pvcreate says:
# pvcreate /dev/nb0
pvcreate -- invalid physical volume "/dev/nb0"
When I run drbd over top of LVM, no changes seem to propogate. And I can't
seem to use /dev/system/home for example as a device for drbd. Is there no
way to combine LVM and drbd?
