Hi ! Is it possible/recommended to use ENBD for shared storage? Actually, our DBA`s evaluate Oracle RAC on shared storage based on scsi and firewire - but i`m thinking about a scenario with two virtual linux systems (on vmware) using a networked block device. There is a paper from someone, who did this with NBD: http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kripac/orac-nbd/ but - reading this: http://www.polarisdb.com/rac.htm >I looked into several open source software solutions like NBD, ENBD, DRBD, and PVFS. >Unfortunately, each solution either wasn't designed to support multiple node concurrent >access or didn't allow support for parallel concurrent writes. Interestingly, the author >of DRBD indicates that adding this support wouldn't require much effort. drives me crazy a little bit. So - multiple node concurrent access doesn`t even work with NBD ? How can that work, what the author from the first link did? Is a NBD suitable for shared storage and can NBD/ENBD used for this? Could please someone give a comment about this? wish you merry christmas! roland
