I haven't tried it yet, still researching on which way to go (looked
into Lustre, then glusterFS, then now this). Coincidentally, I just
googled on your post in the mailing list archive and was about to ask
since your setup worked, wouldn't that implied that it should also
work with openfiler providing the iSCSI connection?

Or would openfiler even be necessary?
