24 I just need to rebound on my initial question. I now want to install lvm2 with "cluster aware" tools (clvm). I want to use a lock on my lvm volumes which could be mount by multiple hosts (but only one at a time).
25 I unmask clvm in the profile file of amd64. But when I install lvm2 with clvm use flag I don't have a useable clvm :
26
27 iceage0 ~ # /etc/init.d/clvmd start
28 * Caching service dependencies ...
29 * Can't find service 'cman' needed by 'clvmd'; continuing... [ ok ]
30 cman
31 * ERROR: Some services needed are missing. Run
32 * './clvmd broken' for a list of those
33 * services. clvmd was not started.
34 iceage0 ~ # /etc/init.d/clvmd status
35 * status: stopped
36
37 If I unmask cman, the result is :
38
39
40 iceage0 ~ # emerge -pv lvm2
41
42 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
43
44 Calculating dependencies... done!
45
46 emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=sys-cluster/cman-2*".
47 (dependency required by "sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.51-r2" [ebuild])
48 (dependency required by "lvm2" [argument])
49
50 no cman-2 in portage...
51
52 I have noticed that with clvm flag, configuration option for lvm2 are :
53 * econf: updating LVM2.2.02.51/autoconf/config.sub with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.sub
54 ./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-readline --disable-selinux --enable-pkgconfig --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-dmeventd --enable-cmdlib --enable-applib --enable-fsadm --enable-static_link --with-mirrors=internal --with-snapshots=internal --with-lvm1=internal --with-cluster=internal --with-clvmd=none --with-pool=internal --sbindir=/sbin --with-staticdir=/sbin CLDFLAGS=-Wl,-O1
55
56 ==> --with-clvmd=none is that normal?

61 I have added a very "usefull" (for me) bug report for multipath-tools :
62 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=293615
63
64 multipath hangs IOs instead of marking a volume as unusable... If I unmap a volume, multipath try changing the path all the time. So a raid1 on 2 volumes is not useable.
