Sorry  ? Are  you meaning  that only  one host  may mount  a partition
throught iSCSI  ? I would  comment that is  a limitation of  a certain
iSCSI  san, since  EMC2 let  me mount  the same  partition on  several
hosts, warning me that I have to use a shared F.S.

I did some tests using GFS2, with all the nodes in a single cluster. I
used the NFS driver without any problem.

I  have to  disable this  installation in  the near  future and  could
discard this  setup since I lack  a true fence device  and the cluster
may get unstable...
