Hi everybody, I am new to the list and hope you will excuse my (perha=
ps)=20
silly questions.

1) I have seen in the LVM documentation that the program is divided i=
nto:

   - A kernel module
   - a set o binaries (commands etc.)

I=B4d like to know whether it is possible to use LVM WITHOUT a kernel=
=20
module. I mean a deamon process. I=B4m asking that because sometimes =
I am=20
not allowed to recompile the kernel on production machines.

2) How can I perform mirroring using LVM? I know the kernel can do th=
at=20
on local disks. Is it possible for the kernel of  two clustered machi=
nes=20
to mirror two disks on an external storage?
I am working on a HA cluster.

Thanks for your attention
