[linux-lvm] 2 Questions about Linux LVM

[Laurenz, Dirk]

Hello,

i have two questions concerning the linux lvm v1.x.x.

1. how log should (min and max) a volume group or logical volume name be.
2. Is it better to export and import a volume group between several systems,
   or is it enough to import a volume group once and activate it on the desired system for use
   while it has been deactivated on the others?

Here is a sort of graph, about what i mean:

before switch:
		SYS1				SYS2
activated	yes				no


after switch:
		SYS1				SYS2
activated	no				yes

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards
