Clustered file system

[odesport]

Hello,

I've installed 6 Proxmox 3 servers which need to access to a SAN by iSCSI. The VMs are stored in LVM partitions but I need a clustered file system for the datas. I don't need replication. It seems that OCFS2 or GFS2 could be the good solutions. However, I've read that OCSF2 is not recommended for Proxmox and I can't install GFS2 with the APT package :

apt-get install gfs2-tools
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gfs2-tools : Depends: cman but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Any idea to help me ?

aptitude install gfs-utils
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
redhat-cluster-pve : Conflicts: cman but 3.0.12-3.2+deb7u2 is to be installed.
Conflicts: gfs2-tools but 3.0.12-3.2+deb7u2 is to be installed.
corosync-pve : Conflicts: corosync but 1.4.2-3 is to be installed.
openais-pve : Conflicts: openais but 1.1.4-4.1 is to be installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Remove the following packages:
1) clvm
2) corosync-pve
3) fence-agents-pve
4) libpve-storage-perl
5) openais-pve
6) proxmox-ve-2.6.32
7) pve-manager
8) qemu-server
9) redhat-cluster-pve
10) resource-agents-pve
11) vzctl

Proxmox won't work any more if I accept this solution ?

You are doing something different, as it works here:

Sorry. I didn't read that I have to install gfs2-utils and not gfs2-tools.

Thanks for your help.
