Hi, I'm trying to build an high available nfs server with drbd and pacemaker. I have some doubts related to the devices and the drbd resource. Following the guide "NFS on RHEL6" on the linbit site, I found that under the drbd resource there is a Logical Volume:
PV -> VG -> LV -> DRBD resource .... Now i have a large storage server with a /dev/sda of 72TB. I would use 3TB for nfs, so with gparted I created /dev/sda1 of 3TB. My question is: should I use lvm?Reading this <http://askubuntu.com/questions/3596/what-is-lvm-and-what-is-it-used-for>, turns out that "if you use LVM across hard drives you may loose all your data when only one drive fails." and this is my case, so is this a good idea? Considering that i don't need to resize /dev/sda1, can I avoid the use of LVM? Thanks, MM
