Hi all

I have setup a two node Linux RHEL 3.0 environment and connected a
Matrox OneTouche 300GB FIrewire disk as shared storage. The 2 Linuxboxes
kan mount the shared storage as /dev/sdc at the same time and the dmesg
give the following output:

ieee1394: sbp2: Query logins to SBP-2 device successful
ieee1394: sbp2: Maximum concurrent logins supported: 2
ieee1394: sbp2: Number of active logins: 1
ieee1394: sbp2: Logged into SBP-2 device

I can make an ls on both nodes and get the same output

Node1
[root@romulus fire]# ls
ls: lasse: In/ut-fel
downloads lost+found mysql

Node2
[root@remus fire]# ls
ls: lasse: Input/output error
downloads lost+found mysql

The problem I am currently having is that if i create a file on node1 (
touch test.txt ) this wont be visible on node2 unless I umount on node2
and remount /dev/sdc agan on node2.

Does anyone know/experienced the same problem and has a solution to the
problem?

Thanx in advance

Gabriel
