[Linux-cluster] Online resizing CLVM PVs (with RHEL 5.3)

Hello list!

I've been trying out RHEL 5.3 beta/test packages for kernel and
device-mapper-multipath that allows online resizing of SCSI and dm-mpath
devices.

I've been able to successfully online resize:

- iSCSI LUNs
- dm-mpath device that is on top of those iSCSI LUNs
- LVM PV on top of that dm-mpath device
- LVM volume from that PV/VG
- And ext3 filesystem on top of that LVM volume

Now I'm wondering about online resizing shared/clustered CLVM PV.

Should it work just like that..? Make sure all servers in the cluster see 
SCSI and dm-mpath devices resized, and after that just run pvresize? 

Thanks!
