I have a single SAN with two virtual drives. (i.e., they are separate mounts, but they are mapped to the same IP address) For example, if I do ls /dev/disk/by-path/
, I see this:
ip-172.16.100.5:3260-iscsi-iqn.[all same]-lun-0@
ip-172.16.100.5:3260-iscsi-iqn.[all same]-lun-1@
ip-172.16.100.6:3260-iscsi-iqn.[all same]-lun-0@
ip-172.16.100.6:3260-iscsi-iqn.[all same]-lun-1@
(There are two entries for each because I am using multipath
as well.)
Currently, I'm using OCFS2 (Oracle Cluster Filesystem) for both virtual drives. However, I would like to try GFS2 with one of them. I think/hope that this is not a problem. It would be like a single server exports two filesystems, one using Samba and one using NFS. At least, that's what I think.
However, given that the other virtual drive (i.e., the one that will remain using OCFS2) has data, I would like to ask to see if anyone can see an issue with this.
The server is running Ubuntu 20.04 .
Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!
