Distributed file system

[Alexander Spanke]

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 ...
