[Ocfs2-users] Using multiple clusters on the same host
Is it possible to use multiple ocfs2 clusters on the same host? I would like to have a given host have access to several different clustered file systems. The older documentation says that you can only have one cluster per host. This restriction appears to have been removed from the latest documentation, but I don't see any mention of how to configure multiple clusters. -- Daniel R.

I believe that due to the way the fencing works you only need a single cluster to have multiple volumes. Just make sure that all of the hosts involved are specified in the same cluster.conf file. For example, nodes a, b, c could mount volume1, while b, c, d mount volume2, and e, f, g mount volume3 so long as the cluster.conf file holds nodes a-g and is consistent across all nodes.
