Additional info: On my earlier attempts with other Linux OS namely ubuntu 8.10, the configuration was:
system 1: Ubuntu 8.10 with iscsitarget (secondary hard drive with logical volume) + open-iscsi (initiator) + ocfs2 system 2: Ubuntu 8.10 with open-iscsi (initiator detects the logical volume on system 1) + ocfs2 But with Opensuse 11.1(on system 1) , as soon as i create a logical volume, it is automatically detected as /dev/dm-0 on system 1 (no need to install open-iscsi initiator) It looks like i have a similar situation as the link below: http://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-users/2008-January/002328.html On this post to the mailing list, Sunil Mushran states "You cannot mount it simultaneously on a iscsi target (host) and a iscsi node" Could someone enlighten me if this is true with my case as well.
