Our plan is to setup some nodes with GFS that export their filesystem as 
  NFS to our (640) clients. I read the kernel archives and some other 
discussion about gfs and gfs2. The version that maybe included in the
vanilla kernel will be gfs2 and is incompatible with gfs filesystems.

I now have the time to make an decission gfs or gfs2. So i need some 
advice which version to choose?

I have build gfs CVS stable without any problems. Gfs2 is another story 
till now i did not succeed. I am using debian sarge for this moment. 
Another question is when will gfs2 be included in the red-hat cluster suite?

Regards
