A little clarification, if you don't mind: I'm assuming you're running vgcreate one one of the two nodes in the cluster, not the other node? Your referring to the other nodes (plural) that can't see it confuses me.

Have you looked at other options? Right now the favorite alternatives that we're considering are MooseFS and Gluster. I'm hoping we decide to go with Moose. -- Joseph http://blog.josephhall.com/ /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
