Shared Volume

[Tux42]

Hello everyone

Is it possible to have a shared volume between multiple Linux machines?

Here is what I am trying to do. I have 5 Linux machines hooked up to a SAN.
I have 500Gigs of disk that I want to share between all five machines.
Each of the machines has a physical fiber connection to the drives.
I want the 5 machines to be able to see and access the same data on that
drive.
I want be able to increase the size of the drive as needed (I have
currently configured it as an lvm and it is compromised of 2 "virtual"
drives of 250Gigs each).

Is this possible without buying additional software??

I could go with a cluster, but I want to see if I can do it individualy
(so I can run different versions of Linux).

any input would be appreciated.

Thanks
