Hi. Can someone explain in layman terms what is the meaning under the term " shared block storage"? As far as I understand it's a shared storage device (SAN, plain hard-disk, etc...), which provides write/read access to multiple servers/clients, and coordinates all the access operations (i.e. locking files, keeping files shadow copies, i.e.).
Also, can someone explain where actually the shared block storage appears in Lustre? From what I read, the data is stored on separate storage nodes, and not on shared disk.
