md with shared disks

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Good day raiders,
I have a question on md that I cannot find (up to date) answer to.
We use SuperMicro server with 16 shared disks on a shared backplane between two motherboards, running up to date CentOS7. If I create an array on one node, the other node can detect it. I put GFS2 on top of the array so both system can share the filesystem, but I want to know if md raid is safe to be used in this way with possibly 2 active/active nodes changing the metadata at the same time. I've disabled raid-check cron job on one node so they don't both resync the drives weekly, but I suspect there's a lot more to it than that.

If it's not possible, then alternatively some advice on strategy to have a large active/active shared disk/filesystem would also be welcome.

Best regards
