I am writng a golang web application that will allow users to upload files and later retrieve them. Application is divided in two parts
Part-1: Web-portal, it will be hosted on multiple linux web-severs with load-balancing.
Part-2: Upload-Service, it will be hosted on single linux server.
Instead of uploading files to all servers, i would like to save all files to shared SAN storage.
My question is, is it possible to mount same SAN storage on Upload-server with read and write both, but on all other servers as Read-only (as below) ?
So there will be single point to upload (write) and multiple points to serve files (read) to clients.
Will this config work and be safe for load-balanced environment?

Yes, it's possible. Unix permissions were invited at '70s. – Ipor Sircer – 2016-11-08T07:32:24.437
@IporSircer thanks for your comment. But will such config be safe for load-balanced encironment? – SamTech – 2016-11-08T08:48:59.420
I think loadbalancing works on a totally different protocol. And you can use cachefilesd any time. – Ipor Sircer – 2016-11-08T08:53:52.973
