[Linux-cluster] RE : GFS Sharing Hard Disk

[Sherman Chan]

Hi,
I would like to know is that possible to has a hard disk physically shared
by multi servers.  I have a SAN which has a logical disk setup that can be
mount/accessed by multi servers at the same time directly, however lacking
off global locking/synchronization system the data can not be shared
properly, data I update from server 1, could not been seen on server 2,
unless I dismount and remount the disk on server 2.  I know thing can not be
that easy.
 
I do not want to lose performance by using NFS or iSCSI.  I have look at
GFS, it seems that is a right tools to me but I do not want to setup a full
cluster environment.  Does it has any way to use GFS without a complete
cluster setup?
 
 
 
Thanks
Sherman
