GFS 6.1 for RHEL 4 shipped two weeks ago:<BR>
<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.redhat.com/software/rha/gfs/">http://www.redhat.com/software/rha/gfs/</A> (General info page)<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/">http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/</A> (Documentation Pages)<BR>
<BR>
GFS 6.1 can indeed run in 2 node configurations. It includes the DLM (Distributed Lock Manager) which "spreads" the locking across all GFS nodes w/o separate lock servers. Though DLM is now the default, GULM remains as an alternative lock manager.<BR>
