Our assigned Red Hat engineer was on-site today and pointed out the
blindingly obvious solution. Can't believe I didn't think of it: Run
NFS as a clustered service and have the VMs mount that. That way ANY
system - even outside of the cluster - can also access the data.
NFS is a much simpler solution. A few days ago, I was supporting NFS
instead of a cluster FS for a classroom, in a LTSP setup. But one
drawback could be that without any high-availability solution, the
server becomes a SPOF. Or do you have a Netapp filer^W^W a server
providing high availability ? Any thoughts on this ?
Man, I feel dumb. I should forfeit my RHCE. :-P

I've got a 4 node cluster back-ended with iSCSI storage that's happily

for lock_dlm to work?
Interested in how others have skinned this cat...
I don't know if GFS2 is the best way to share data among your VMs.
But if you go for GFS2, I suppose the clusters should be different : one
cluster for the hosts, and one cluster for the VMs having a shared disk with
GFS2. They have different purposes, you should not mix them.
