As far as I know there's nothing similar to cluster segments and evmsd
in LVM2. That was a very useful part of EVMS as it would guarantee no
other server would ever recognize your SAN as usable storage without
having quorum in the cluster and, with private containers, being the
only server having it exported.

That was a very useful part of the cluster I set up (still running 2.0.4
with some backported patches over time) and, if EVMS dies, it would be
really nice that at least this feature gets incorporated in a different
tool...

IMHO the choice of GTK, Ncurses and CLI UIs was also a really nice
feature although I'm comfortable with command-line tools...

Out of curiosity would you have any recommendation on how to replace
evmsd functions in a cluster now?
