Can LVM2 and CLVM co-exist
I have a system using LVM2 and recently setup a CORAID (www.coraid.com) device. I'd like to use CLVM to manage the volumes on the device. But someone mentioned that LVM2 and CLVM may be incompatible.
I didn't want to trash my test machine at the moment so I was wondering if they are compatible or not.
Thx

What exactly are you trying to do?
LVM2 & CLVM can't be incompatible - they are the same thing! installing the lvm2-cluster RPM doesn't replace any LVM2 components, it provides a new locking method for clustered VGs and a daemon to distribute the commands across the cluster.

What's an RPM? :-)
j/k - This is on gentoo linux and it's a separate package and doesn't depend on the lvm package.
But on investigating further I see that they compile lvm with clvm in that package. Presumably so you can have different versions of clvm and lvm installed. Why you would want to do that I don't know.

That sounds more like a dangerous idea than a feature ! clvmd & lvm2 really ought to be kept in sync.

Well they are the same versions at least, but yes. I agree.
