Thank you for your answer, I am not saying that I need a clustered filesystem, with clvm I just have all lvm-volumes available on all machines, but only one machine would attach to the filesystem of a specific LV at a time. On 05/17/2012 05:07 AM, Narayan Desai wrote: I'm not sure that it

I'm not sure that it would be particularly easy to make nova-volume support clustered filesystems; the current model only supports attaching a volume to a single instance at a time. Aside from that, it shouldn't be too hard to use fc as the data path instead of iscsi. We're looking at using iSER
