Hi. I too had the same problem.
But through a random google searching one day I discovered that Mark Fasesh had pointed out the following: > Yes. The node you export the iscsi drive (your iscsi target, or 'san' in > this example) can not run ocfs2 on that drive alongside other nodes who have > it mounted via the iscsi client. This is a limitation in that the iscsi > target does not share the same pages against the iscsi device and the block > device. http://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-users/2006-December/001146.html A reply suggested that you could mount the iscsi disk by using an initiator and target on the same machine. Then mount it from the 2nd also. I have found this to work. And have been able to have drbd on 2 machines, and iscsi export the disk to a third machine. The 3 nodes work seemingly fine. But am having other iscsi issues preventing me from using it in a production environment. I have found that if the iscsi target goes missing during the initiator's mid write, the initiator experiences soft lockups and never recovers. Even in a multipath environment. Does anyone here have any ideas to solving this? I was about 5mins away from posting on the open-iscsi forum to see what anyone says, when I saw your email in this thread. > Subject: [Ocfs2-users] another node is heartbeating in our slot > > Hi members, > Newbie.
