Hi,

Assuming you'll have /home mounted on both systems *at the same
time* then you can't use iSCSI unless you use a cluster filesystem like
GFS2 or OCFS2 on top of the LUN (plus you'll need some clusterware with
that).

If you really want to use iSCSI then you won't be able to mount the
filesystem on both systems at the same time (technically you could but
you *will* corrupt the filesystem). You just need to make sure you have
it unmounted in one system before mounting it in the other... (don't
even attempt to mount it read-only in
one side while mounted in the other side..)

If you're using a standard filesystem like ext4, xfs or btrfs then you
need to work a the file-level layer  (not block-level like you suggest with
iSCSI). I suggest you use NFS v4.1.  You simply ake an export (an NFS
share) on the desktop and import in the other side.
