RHEL7: How can I setup and use "multi mount protection" for the ext4 filesystem?
Issue
- How can I setup and use "multi mount protection" for the ext4 filesystem?
- I have a blockdevice (for example a SAN LUN) which can be accessed by multiple Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 systems. I want to use the
ext4filesystem ontop. How can I in a simple way prevent multiple systems to mount this filesystem at the same time? I do not want to use a cluster infrastructure.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7
ext4filesystem- Multi Mount Protection (MMP)
