 Hi, Konrad!
 Thanks for you advice!
 
  Are you mounting that filesystem across many nodes (ie, through my

 Yes, that's exactly what I had done. I  want to use iscsi to transmit
 data in my distributed filesystem.

That will definitly fail.
 
  If so, then this is expected. ext3 is not clustered-aware filesystem and 
  won't
  behave properly. You would need to use GFS or GFS2 to do this.
 GFS2 or GFS seems have some problem in Genoo across to bugzilla.
 So you just think GFS/GFS2 is good enough ? Or is there any other
 recommended clustered-aware filesystem?

Those are the ones I know about. The GFS2 is an open-source project so
I would think it would be part of Gentoo?

 Hi,
 
 I use open-iscsi-2.0.869.2 and iscsitarget-0.4.15-r1, and in my test,
 some strange errors occur.
 
 In all my iscsi-target, I have a ext3 fs. And I mount these fs in the
 iscsi-initator.

Are you mounting that filesystem across many nodes (ie, through my 
iscsi-initators)?
