Hi. Now i'm trying this and it works! for now... Two nodes: node3 & node4 node4 export his /dev/sdb2 with gnbd_export as "node4_sdb2" node3 import node4's /dev/sdb2 with gnbd_import (new /dev/gnbd/node4_sdb2) on node3: gfs_mkfs -p lock_dlm -t node3:node3_gfs -j 4 /dev/gnbd/node4_sdb2 mount -t gfs /dev/gnbd/node4_gfs /users/home on node4: mount -t gfs /dev/sdb2 /users/home and both nodes can read an write ths same files on /users/home!!! Now i'm going for this: 4 nodes on a dedicated 3com 1Gbit ethernet switch: node2 exporting with gnbd_export /dev/sdb2 as "node2_sdb2" node3 exporting with gnbd_export /dev/sdb2 as "node3_sdb2" node4 exporting with gnbd_export /dev/sdb2 as "node4_sdb2" node1 (main) will import all "nodeX_sdb2" and create a logical volume named "main_lv" including: /dev/sdb2 (his own) /dev/gnbd/node2_sdb2 /dev/gnbd/node3_sdb2 /dev/gnbd/node4_sdb2 Next I will try to export the new big logical volume with "gnbd_export" and then do gnbd_import on each node. With that each node will see "main_lv", then mount it on /users/home as gfs and get a big shared filesystem to work toghether. Is this the correct way to do the work??? possibly a deadlock???
