What do you mean by "connecting at the same time"? The semantics of a block service is that a volume is mounted by a single user at a time. When you want something more complex you should build that with a proxy on top of the base service. What you are talking about is a very Specialized need with your own logic on how to reconcile conflicting writes from your two mounts. -----Original Message----- From: openstack-bounces+caitlin.bestler=nexenta.com at lists.launchpad.net [mailto:openstack-bounces+caitlin.bestler=nexenta.com at lists.launchpad.net] On Behalf Of Narayan Desai Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 7:56 AM To: Daniel Martinez Cc: openstack at lists.launchpad.net Subject: Re: [Openstack] Sharing disk: OCFS2 or GFS2? As far as I know, the current volume service doesn't support connecting the same volume to multiple instances at the same time, so neither of these can work directly through nova apis. -nld On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 4:44 AM, Daniel Martinez <danielfm at gmail.com> wrote: > Hello everyone. > > My setup is simple.
