Hello, Many thanks for your message. Well, actually the article is from my blog... So, I already executed all steps described there, and much more ideas also. The synchronization solved the problem of single directly writing, but not **concurrent** access over gnbd. oopses_ok is a frigthning proposition... Read across RH docs, tried many cluster.conf configurations, enabled debug and collected some data. Unfortunately, I still have only some "suspects". It ***"seems"*** that the cluster locking (suite 1.03.02) is not so robust, and heavily depends on fast FC private networks, not implementing suitable semaphores and handshaking. I am trying to implement iscsi now (reading docs phase). But, maybe, the problems arise again if the real cause is at GFS / clvm locking coordination and not at gnbd itself. As RH docs suggests at fig. 1.13 [0] that the intended idea is feasible, I am trying it. do you have any additional ideas? How to spot the real cause? Regards.
