[Pacemaker] Shared Storage

[Richard de Vries]

Hello Ryan,

If you want to have shared storage by two nodes via a SAN, you should
look for a clustered filesystem like gfs2 or ocfs2.
We use shared storage by replication via glusterfs (www.gluster.org).
The backend storage can be on a LUN or on a local disk.
If one node fails, the standby has a replicated data set on which he
will operate.

Works very nice.

regards,
Richard
