I'm using the Starport AoE initiator on 4 servers to an Ubuntu 9.10 linux server target running vblade on an NTFS partition. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but data on the target is being corrupted in strange and mysterious ways when I write to the volume from each of the different systems. For example, If I copy folder A from server 1, then copy folder B from server 2, then copy folder C from server 3. All servers should see folders A, B, and C, but instead each can only see the 1 folder that it copied. On the vblade target server, only folder C is visible. Each server can browse the contents of the folder it copied until it reboots, then it says "File system is corrupt and unusable."
I thought NTFS was supposed to be able to deal with write access from multiple systems, but it clearly isn't. So what file system should be used on the target?
Thanks,
DD
