Re: [DRBD-user] One resource per disk?

I create a large data drive out of a bunch of small SSDs using RAID and make that RAID drive an LVM PV. I can then create LVM volume groups and volumes for each use (in my case virtual drives for KVM) to back specific DRBD resources for each VM.  It allows me to have a DRBD resource for each V

I would prefer the 2nd option. Ideally all disks would be members of a RAID(10?) array, with DRBD sitting on top for the replication, and LVM for managing the volume. Another option would be ZFS managing the disks and the volume, while DRBD sitting on top for the replication. This very same scenar
