Thread-topic: [Xen-users] how to mount one volume to 2 guests

No, that’s not true.  OCFS2 is a distributed block locking mechanism specifically built to allow multiple systems to simultaneously access the same block device.

Yes I realize that, I want to use it with ocfs2. How I can set mode to w! ?


I am not sure to understand, but OCFS2 is a file system. If you want to use it, I think you have to create a disk image file on your ocfs2 file system, then to use the "file:" or "tap:io:" prefix in your domU config files.

You can't use directly a shared physical device, even if you created OCFS2 file systems on it.
