Thanks so much for the clarification and doc updates! I 100% sympathize BTW. It's daunting to keep docs up to date, especially where they involve other vendors'/projects' software. As an FYI for if there's time to do an overhaul later, Red Hat stopped supporting CLVMD + GFS2 as of RHEL 8. Now we use lvmlockd + GFS2. Here are the relevant portions of the RHEL 9 product docs: - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html-single/configuring_and_managing_high_availability_clusters/index#assembly_configuring-gfs2-in-a-cluster-configuring-and-managing-high-availability-clusters - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/configuring_gfs2_file_systems/index > > -- > Matt Kereczman – Solutions Architect > m...@linbit.com > > LINBIT | Keeping the Digital World Running > HA - DR - SDS > > LINBIT® is a registered trademark of LINBIT, Austria. > _______________________________________________ > Star us on GITHUB: https://github.com/LINBIT > drbd-user mailing list > drbd-user@lists.linbit.com > https://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user -- Regards, Reid Wahl (He/Him) Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat RHEL High Availability - Pacemaker _______________________________________________ Star us on GITHUB: https://github.com/LINBIT drbd-user mailing list drbd-user@lists.linbit.com https://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user
