Are you saying you have a shared storage solution with 2 LVs that you
move back and forth between 2 clustered nodes?
If so, I personally would use Linux-HA (heartbeat) in combination with
EVMS 2.0.
EVMS 2.0 is an alternative to LVM, but it understands clustering and in
particular it can use heartbeat for its cluster comm.
If you use LVM, I think you have to add a lot of custom scripting to
make sure LVM does not screw up due to clustering issues. (i.e. LVM is
totally cluster unaware. EVMS is cluster aware.)
