Hello, > I believe that SGI's xfs is capable of handling shared-storage setups... After Dan's mail I would think that only some kind of signalling would needed to accomplish the task of one RW and multiple RO machines using the same SCSI storage. This could be done in the hardware and in the software.
All I could get on this topic is the problem of multiple RW machines, for which the Linux-specific GFS[1] used the SCSI locking feature of the individual devices and then implemented some kind of external locking, other distributed filesystems did similar methods. How difficult would be to implement this, either into the recently announced GEOM or some other layers?
