I wanted to know how to create lvm group on a device that is shared among several host. so i use debian 4 servers that acces a AOE target drive. The servers all mount the etherdrive and i want to use lvm to partition this 4Terabyte block device in smaller chunck. what should be the best way to do that ? While googling about this i found references to clvm but no documentation i could use on how to set it up. Is this the way to go ? regards, Jean.
