So that no other user can access the metadata of that VG.. WE ARE ONLY MATAINING THE CONSISTENCY OF THE VG METADATA.. We thought of protecting VG DATA (NOT METADATA), but it becomes very completed.. so as if now we are not taking care of FS access.. --- Joe Thornber wrote: > On Thu, Feb 28, 2002 at 02:59:51AM -0800, Prashant > Kharche wrote: > > When tools are run they run with a lock > > and and at that time the filesystem cannot access > the > > volume groups. > > How are you preventing remote nodes from accessing > the volume groups ? > Or are you working on an 'offline' solution, where > there can be no > users of logical volumes while you resize them ? > > - Joe > > _______________________________________________ > linux-lvm mailing list > linux-lvm@sistina.com > http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm > read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
