That's why I don't understand why it works fine when LVM clients are connected on the same DRBD server, and it doesn't work when each client is on separate DRBD server (despite replication is working). Can you explain this behaviour ? Furthermore, I do some tests with cLVM. My cluster is working, I can create pv and vg on one node, but the other can't see it. Then, when I try to create a LV, cLVM says : lvcreate -L82M -n testvol vg_xen Rounding up size to full physical extent 84,00 MB Error locking on node ad37864: Volume group for uuid not found: 1xgSmqky8beMkIQSGqYQ0fSC6IdOBOJEg46qEeWY9eV9njYJ2B9zxJwyXIaSHs3h Aborting. Failed to activate new LV to wipe the start of it. Sorry if I miss someting...
