Interesting indeed. Does LVM span across multiple storage servers?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>There is Clustered LVM but I dont think this is what your looking for. CLVM allows you to have a shared storage target such as an iSCSI box and give one LV to one box and another LV to another box with clever cluster locking and stuff. Its commonly used in High Availability setups.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you want to aggregate the disk volumes of many systems into one filesystem then you need something like Gluster or HDFS</div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<div><br></div><div>That is another issue and im not trying to open up a can of worms but what is the advantage of using KVM over xen or even citrix xen server</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>There isn't really one I suppose. I just know KVM better and find their dev community the most friendly to my insane requests. Its also the redhat standard which I think tends to make it better integrated with the whole redhatty stack.</div>
