parallel filesystem without SAN infrastructure

Is there any parallel filesystem that doesn’t need SAN infrastructure ? What I want to do is to create a logical volume and attach it with multiple VMs that will use the disk concurrently.I don’t want to use NFS. because I want block level access.

Answer

If you want to mount a remote filesystem, you use an NFS share. A SAN, in the context you’re using the word, provides disk-level access to multiple servers. This requires the servers to be members of a cluster, usually, and is not used for basic file sharing.
