Hi,
This probably have been brought up before, but I couldn't find any info.
I'd like to setup multiple initiators (web/ftp cluster) to access
read-only the same iscsi target.
I would prefer to do this without cluster fs (ie GFS) if possible.
However I want to have right access on the target server locally.
I managed to do this but I have the following problem:
When I write something on the target (locally on the server)
the updates are not propagated to the initiators.
If I unmount and mount again I can see the changes.
I'm sharing /dev/vg01/iscsi which is an ext3 fs. It's locally mounted on
server
and also mounted (/dev/sde -> /mnt) on clients.
Server is centos 5.4 scsi-target-utils-0.0-6.20091205snap.el5_4.1
<target iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.target2>
backing-store /dev/vg01/iscsi
incominguser user pass
initiator-address 10.0.0.0/26
write-cache off
</target>
client is Fedora 12 iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.870-10.fc12.1.x86_64

so is GFS the only option?
