[lustre-discuss] Can logical volumes used as OST?

[jeevan.patnaik at wipro.com]

I found the following line in lustre manual:

"You should create an OST that uses the raw block device and does not use partitioning"

Can we use Logical Volume as OST?
And I also wonder why no partitioned device.

However, I was testing lustre with LVs only and I found no issues, it's working!
