if you don't have shared storage, but you have local disks - you may use DRBD
instead of iSCSI.
this looks interesting, any good manual about using DRBD?
About the cluster - you don't need to define any resources -
just have a cluster which is quorate to avoid data corruption while accessing
the GFS on DRBD
ok, so I only need the cluster with the 2 nodes and the gfs filesystem formated, for example like this:
gfs_mkfs -p lock_dlm -t MyCLUSTER:mydata -j 8 /dev/sda1
When I have done this I can mount /dev/sda1 in both nodes as use it
isn´t it?
