Hi Fabio,

NACK.  Actually, I've been working to get gfs and gfs-kernel to build 
properly
with the upstream kernel and new infrastructure changes. 
I've got a gfs-kernel that compiles now (but needs other things, regarding
the locking infrastructure), and I'm working on getting the gfs tools to 
use
udev's libvolume_id rather than iddev, as we did for the gfs2 userspace 
tools.

So hopefully in the next few business days, I'll have these compiling 
properly
and committed to CVS.  Until then, I apologize for the compile problems.

You're right that the gfs2-kernel stuff should not be compiled out of CVS,
because that's all in a public git tree now, and that's where people 
should get it.
I'm not sure about the plans for gnbd at the moment, so I'll defer to 
someone else.
