[Ocfs2-users] hardware needed for OCFS

[Luis Freitas]

  If your NAS can do iSCSI you could use it to provide a shared block device.

  The performance wont be as good as a SAN as the data has to go through the kernel TCP/IP stack, it can be comparable if you have a iSCSI IP accelerator board that simulates a hba.

Regards,
Luis
