Subject: [linux-lvm] lvmlockd manpage: prevent concurrent activation of logical volumes?
Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2017 16:30:09 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4c07ee03-0ff8-9d41-ef93-c47e5325bb1c@suse.com> (raw)

Hi David,

I's afraid the statement below in description section of lvmlockd manpage:

"
· prevent concurrent activation of logical volumes
"

is easy for normal user to mistake it as: wow, lvmlockd doesn't support 
active-active
LV on multiple nodes?

What I interpret from it is:

with clvmd, 'vgchange/lvchange -ay' activates the LV on every node in a 
shot.
But with lvmlockd, one needs to perform:

- start the lockspace
vgchange --lockstart vg1

- vgchange -ay vg1
The LVs in vg1 will only be activated on this node.

Regards,
Eric
