Free Shared Disk FS for Windows?

[CaseyBlackburn]

I want to have a iSCSI target with multiple Windows Initiators but my problem is I need a file system for the partitions that allow multiple system access. Does anyone know a free shared disk filesystem that is for Windows with a CentOS based target?

Why don't you just install CentOS and carve up your iSCSI LUNs however you want them. It takes almost next to no time.

That link will walk you right through the process. I would go this route as you have control over what can and can't be done.

I have my iSCSI LUNs setup, but I want one to be shared among multiple Windows systems.

Read through this article on Technet - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727114.aspx

I used that article and setup a cluster with 4 Windows 2003 servers and an OpenFiler iSCSI SAN and everything worked fine.

Make sure you have a quorum drive on each machine you are connecting to the same LUN otherwise you will corrupt data.
