If I export a device (e.g. /dev/vinum/a_lot_of_space) rw via ggated, am I allowed to mount it locally too (e.g. for exporting it via samba too)? >From what you told above I don't think so. Would it be hard to make this possible? What about more than one client which accesses a device in rw mode? Do you intend to MFC ggated (or to make it a separate tarball, to make it more easy to use it on different systems too)?
