Hey guys,

Forgive me, but I'm super new to this.

I have two CentOS 7 nodes. I'm using LIO to export a sparse file over iSCSI.

The sparse file was created as a LIO FILEIO with write-back disabled 
(write-through)
In targetcli, I create a LUN on my iSCSI frontend

I formatted the sparse file to have an EXT4 filesystem.

On both the target node and the initiator node, I can initiate a iSCSI 
session (iscsiadm -m node --login), mount the device, and read and write to 
it.

However, changes to the device are not consistent across the network until 
i logout of the iSCSI session. (iscsiadm -m node --logout) (both nodes have 
to logout. The first logout writes the changes, and the second one 
refreshes them)

Somewhere, caching is occurring, but I'm not sure where.

Just in case you're curious, my use case is to have multiple nodes write to 
the same remote disk (or file) in parallel. 

Any direction or advice would be great. Thank you.

-Matt
