The above patch to /etc/init.d/corosync is still needed if you plan to layer o2cb (OCFS2) on your cLVM as o2cb depends upon openais services.

Sorry JCL – I really should create my own blog ;)

I hit another issue with using a patched clvm on Debian Squeeze today which I have resolved using the following patch to /etc/init.d/corosync (thanks to Michael Schwartzkopff who has alerted the Debian corosync maintainer). As of corosync-1.2.1-4 this is not yet patched in the Debian package. I have provided the required change as a unified diff here for people who follow the above and hit this issue. In addition to this patch please add

OPENAIS_SERVICES=yes

to your /etc/default/corosync.

I also suggest providing patches (using diff -u) rather than full file listings for the modified files, as this simplifies applying your changes to later source versions.
