Mount point options

Hello all,

I'm sharing 1 volume from a Sun Storage array (6130), out to 2 servers. Created a slice on one server and mounted a filesystem. On the other server the disk already sees the created slice from the other server (shared throught the storage array, so mounted this filesystem as well.

Question, I'm not able to write to both servers simultaneously. I attempt to write to the filesystem on one server, but the other server does not see this. The only way the 2 filesystems are updated with the same data, is when I do a umount then a mount. Are there some mount options that i'm missing in the /etc/vfstab. I have logging turned on for both.

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!!

Generally you need to have a cluster filesystem to allow two servers to interact with the storage simultaneously. On a standard FS it's one at a time.
