[linux-lvm] Exporting VG

[linux-lvm] Exporting VG

[Xavi Fustero]

I have 3 computers: N1, N2 and N3.
N1 has 3 disks  (vg1)
N2 has 1 disk   (vg2)
N3 has 1 disk   (vg3)
I built a Volume group on each machine, now what I would like to do is
to unify these volume groups under a new one volume group visible from
all the 3 machines  (new_vg=vg1 + vg2 + vg3). Is this possible ???
Let me know if anybody tried this.
Thanks in advance,
Xavi !

	No, it isn't with LVM.

	You probably want (Global File System) or GFS.  Though I think
that one tends to assume that your storage is actually free-floating on
a Fibre Channel network, not attached to particular machines.

	LVM doesn't do stuff over a network by itself.

Have fun (if at all possible),

[linux-lvm] LVM-tools-0.8final-1.i386.rpm

[Eli Criffield]

I was trying to find RPMS for redhat 7 for the LVM-tools.

I couldn't find any so i made them. If anyone wants a copy i put them on
my web server at http://zoser.mammoth.org/htdocs/tmp

They'll probably not stay there forever so if someone would put them in a
more perment place that would be good. 

There is a src rpm too if someone wanted to compile it for 6.2 or whatever
other version. 

thats all
