Seeing as LVM is atop DRBD, I don't think you will be able to go through with this without cloning the LVM stuff. But then, I don't see how this is problematic, either. You will end up with the LVM -> DRBD -> LVM "sandwich". Myself, I'm not particularly fond of the concept, but it's known to work quite well. Good luck, Felix
