Since an existing Logical Volume is simply a block device in Linux terms, you may of course use it as a DRBD backing device. To use LV's in this manner, you simply create them, and then initialize them for DRBD as you normally would.

This example assumes that a Volume Group named foo already exists on both nodes of on your LVM-enabled system, and that you wish to create a DRBD resource named r0 using a Logical Volume in that Volume Group.

First, you create the Logical Volume:

Of course, you must complete this command on both nodes of your DRBD cluster. After this, you should have a block device named /dev/foo/bar on either node.

Then, you can simply enter the newly-created volumes in your resource configuration:

resource r0 {
  ...
  on alice {
    device /dev/drbd0;
    disk   /dev/foo/bar;
    ...
  }
  on bob {
    device /dev/drbd0;
    disk   /dev/foo/bar;
    ...
  }
}

Now you can continue to bring your resource, just as you would if you were using non-LVM block devices.
