Subject: [linux-lvm] free space for cluster use
Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2004 17:55:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <411A4182.C8A50168@gmx.net> (raw)
Is there any free sector that can be used by a cluster to store it's last lifesign in case
of a partitioned network?
I once had such a situation with a normal filesystem which was nasty enough.
I plan to write a sektor via dd, containing a flag "in use" and a timestamp to be updated
each minute.
Is there any space left on a pv or a raid1 disk?
I do not expect anyone to support this solution. (Solutions which work don't need support)
I could also use some space behind the MBR instead, but that means to be forced to create
partitions for lvm or raid.
Regards,
Thomas
