Re: [Xen-users] iSCSI Volumes and Xen

["Nick Couchman" <Nick.Couchman@xxxxxxxxx>]

GFS and OCFS2 are among the more popular cluster-aware filesystems.  RedHat 
distros support GFS by default; SuSE distros tend toward OCFS.  There are a few 
others, too - a couple more open source and quite a few commercial offerings.

What would you recommend I use for a filesystem?

You're almost certainly not using a cluster-aware filesystem if you're seeing 
this behavior - if you mount a filesystem on more than one machine at a time 
you *must* use a cluster-aware filesystem - otherwise you *will* corrupt your 
filesystem and lose the contents.
