Hi, sorry if i wrote things to cryptic, of course is gfs a filesystem in the main terminology but from technical point of view, the detailed look it is a big add on to NFS. NFS is needed for GFS, or RedHat modified it in that sense but i don't believe it. Let's give it a try, set up a system using GFS and play a bit around, you will see what I mean. Cheers Alex btw, i am working with gfs since more than 2 years now ...
