I mean, if I would export some blockdevice via iSCSI, I'd not mount it locally, even with a cluster fs. it just does not feel right, and probably asks for trouble like resoiurce starvation deadlocks. (well, actually, all block-io via linux network stack asks for trouble of this kind, though it has been getting better.) -- : Lars Ellenberg Tel +43-1-8178292-0 : : LINBIT Information Technologies GmbH Fax +43-1-8178292-82 : : Vivenotgasse 48, A-1120 Vienna/Europe http://www.linbit.com : __ please use the "List-Reply" function of your email client.
