You could put your lvm on top of the multipathed dm-device. For which you may have to disable lvm probing in the initrd phase. You can do this by changing your /etc/lvm/lvm.conf and then running mkinitrd. You have to change the filter line to be like this: filter = [ "a|/dev/mapper.*|", "a|/dev/disk/by-name/.*|", "r|.*|" ] Let me know if this helps. > > What am I missing. > > Thanks and Regards, > Pradipmaya. > > > On Jan 24, 2008 10:25 AM, Chandra Seetharaman wrote: > > Hi All, > > > > I put the Multipath Usage guide in the LVM wiki page.
