Hi Dave,
Thank you for your reply!
Does this mean that there is no way to live migrate VMs when using lvmlockd?
As you describe, the granularity of thinlv's sharing/unsharing is per
read/write IO, except that lvmlockd reinforces this limitation for the
lvm activation command.
Is it possible to modify the code of lvmlockd to break this limitation
and let libvirt/qemu guarantee the mutual exclusivity of each read/write
IO across hosts when live migration?
Thanks!
Zhiyong
