Thanks All for your reply, I treid it with lock_nolock and its working fine with me, But only in one server at a time But I want to take a benafit of GFS2 to use this storage with two servers as a central storage. So each one can write easily on it. My point is this can we use it without making cluster UP?
or is there any other filesystem through which I can fullfill my requirment?

RHN was okay with that configuration and we have been running it this way on GFS and GFS2 for 5-years without issue. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob Peterson Sent: Monday, February 14, 2011 8:37 AM To: linux clustering Subject: Re: [Linux-cluster] want to use GFS2 ----- Original Message ----- | Hi, | | You need to setup a simple cluster and a proper fencing mechanism .

I believe Red Hat doesn't support it, and the storage can't be mounted by more than a single computer (with "lock_nolock" locking protocol), but it can be done.
