Kirks, thanks a lot. By the wa y, I use OCFS2/iSCSI as the clumster filesystem under Shared Mountpoint mode. I have a problem right now. There are two hosts running ocfs2 and connecting to a signle storage server with iSCSI. After I run about one day, one hosts hung up and all the VM on this host stopped. I suspected ocfs2 filesystem locked the host. I want to see the lock status of ocfs2. How to do?

The NFS option should be used for NFS shares that are not already mounted on the hosts. CloudStack will tell the hosts to mount the NFS share you specify. The Shared Mount Point option would be for a primary storage that is already mounted on the hosts by the system administrator. Here is what the docs [1] say about it: > KVM supports "Shared Mountpoint" storage. A shared > mountpoint is a file system path local to each server > in a given cluster. The path must be the same across > all Hosts in the cluster, for example /mnt/primary1. > This shared mountpoint is assumed to be a clustered > filesystem such as OCFS2.
