Hello experts, If on one machine i have 8 block devices (/deb/sda, /dev/sdb, ... /dev/sdg, dev/sdh) imported via iscsi from 8 different computers (computerX) can i group volumes two by two using raid1 and after that to join resulted /dev/md0 up to md3 in one logical volume and run GFS on top? If this thing is not possible, how can i join together all 8 sd[a-h] in order to have fault-tolerance shared storage (failure of a single drive sd[a-h] or server (computerX) should not bring down the GFS)? I read about gnbd but is working only on 2 nodes. Any idea about how to construct a shared storage volume using all 8 devices? Lustre can be a solution to my problem? I have one doubt regarding lustre: i saw that they are using EXT3 on top, which I know that is a LOCAL FILE SYSTEM not suitable for SHARED STORAGE (different computers accesing the same volume and write at the same time on it). So, using their patched kernels, ext3 become suitable for SHARED STORAGE? Regards, Alx -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
