[Gluster-users] Can I share with GLusterFS a volume created from two mounted i-SCSI bricks?

[Mountrakis, Michael]

Hi all

The scenario that I am thinking to implement has as follows:

Mount a volume locally to my Node1  as i-scsi:
mybox1# iscsiadm -m node --targetname "rot1:newvolume.1" --portal "192.168.0.1:3260" --login
.. format and make file system...
mybox1# mount  /dev/sdb1 /data  -t ext4

Mount another volume locally to my Node2  as i-scsi:
mybox2# iscsiadm -m node --targetname "rot2:newvolume.1" --portal "192.164.0.1:3260" --login
.. format and make file system...
mybox2# mount  /dev/sdb1 /data  -t ext4

I do the peering between node1/node2:
root@ mybox1:~ # gluster peer probe mybox2.mydomain

Try to create a glusterFS volume from those mounts:
Will the following work?
root@ mybox1:~ # gluster volume create mydata replica 2 mybox1.mydomain:/data mybox2.mydomain:/data force

In other words:
Can I create and share a glusterFS volume from a couple of mounted iSCSI bricks?
