HP' NAS device with redhat ES 3

[Naeem Shah]

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your reply on the subject.

I think you are absolutely thinking in the right direction regarding
the locks while using the same drive thru NFS.

Currently, I am able to see drives on NAS from both of my machines but
while doing read/write, sometimes the process hangs (accessing from
either of the machines) and I was wondering why it is like this. I am
sure it is becuase of some lacking of lock management.

But how I use so called oracle clustering file system? And while using
that, dont I need to use NFS anymore? I think while using OCFS, I need
to connect this NAS device directly to my linux servers. This NAS is
attached to my network currently.

Your little more clarification  on this issue is highly appreciated.

Regards,
