Best practice for shared volume with iscsi Dell MD3200i ?

Hi all,

I am trying to run two freebsd9 boxes with a 3.7 TO shared iscsi volume 
on a MD3200i.

The goal is to run a "master" and a "slave" dovecot IMAP server with a 
shared /home.

I created the shared partition like this :
gpart create -s gpt /dev/da0
gpart add -t freebsd-ufs /dev/da0
newfs /dev/da0p1

Everything is working great on the "master" server, but when I'm trying 
to mount the volume from the "slave" one, I have the following error :
mount: /dev/da0p1 : Operation not permitted

The only way I have to successfully mount the share on the "slave" 
server is to run a fsck -t ufs /dev/da0p1 and then do the mount.

Could anyone tell me what's wrong ?

Regards,
Karl
