Hmm... actually, I just found that a solution should present itself in the 3.4 kernel, when it comes out. I can't post a URL with where I got this from (because apparently I need 5 posts for that), but here's a quote from the API changes page:

Quote:

The PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER prctl() operation allows a "service manager" process to mark itself as a sort of 'sub-init', able to stay as the parent for all orphaned processes created by the started services. All SIGCHLD signals will be delivered to the service manager. There is a corresponding PR_GET_CHILD_SUBREAPER prctl() operation. Planned users of this feature include D-Bus and systemd.

NAME

       lvmpud - LVM daemon handling online shared volume group reconfiguration

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       is the daemon that handles LVM online shared volume group reconfiguration.  Only users with sufficient privileges can run this daemon.  The
       online reconfiguration of shared volume groups is available on volume groups version 2.1 and higher.

       The daemon is automatically started when the system boots if is in the file.  To manually start have in then enter To manually stop enter

       Only one instance of the daemon can run on a system.  An attempt to start a second instance would fail.

   Options
       The following options are supported:

       Display the usage of

       Log informational messages in the system log.
	       See syslogd(1M).

       Log debug messages in the system log.
	       See syslogd(1M).

   Shared Volume Group Considerations
       Note that the daemon must be running on all the nodes sharing a volume group activated in shared mode.  LVM shared mode is  currently  only
       available in Serviceguard clusters.
