[Linux-cluster] iscsi doubt

You can't mount ext3 from more than one node (unless all mounts are
read-only).  You will immediately corrupt the volume.
 
You have to use a clustered filesystem.  If for some reason you don't
want to implement GFS, try another:

	Hello, 
	
	I have a 2-nodes cluster. I have a shared partition mounted via
iscsi. Only one node is active at a time but I see that when I write in
one node in the other node I cant see the files created, 
	
	ie:
	
	node1
	  /dev/sda                972404    107592    815416  12%
/iscsivol
	
	node2
	/dev/sda                972404    107596    815412  12%
/iscsivol
	
	 first the numbers are different and /dev/sda is the same
partition. When I create a file with
	
	#touch test
	root at node2 iscsivol]# ll
	total 24
	drwx------ 2 root  root  16384 mar 23 17:25 lost+found
	-rw-r--r-- 1 root  root      0 abr 20 10:39 test
	
	in the other node:
	[root at node1 iscsivol]# ll
	total 24
	drwx------ 2 root  root  16384 mar 23 17:25 lost+found
	
	and after a time i get:
	[root at node1 iscsivol]# ll
	total 24
	drwx------ 2 root  root  16384 mar 23 17:25 lost+found
	?--------- ? ?     ?         ?            ? test
	
	
	the filesystem on it is ext3 and I dont want to implement gfs. 
	
	Is necessary any special configuration to update de iscsi
targets when one client writes to it and with correct info?
	
	Thanks in advance
	
	ESG
