I have two nodes connected to a SAN, and I want to be able to mount an ext3
partition on node B when node A goes down.
I know I could use a shared filesystem, but for simplicity and performance I would like to find a way not to, considering I don't actually need to have my filesystem simultaneously mounted on both nodes.
I can think of a dummy script on node B that would try to mount filesystem, only if it detects it is not already mounted by A. But how can B know that?
Is there a way to make lvchange
automatically activate and deactivate a logical volume?
