[Linux-cluster] A few GFS newbie questions: journals, etc

[Jon Scottorn]

So is it going to be possible.  If so how do I go about setting it up
for that.

Also, I found a docs/min-gfs.txt file with in the cluster source
directory that is kind of discussing what we want to acomplish.
Basically what it says is I have a backend storage server and clients
that access it.  That setup would even work but I haven't been able to
get it functioning.  I get to the point when fence_tool join is run and
I get an error
fence_tool: cannot communicate with fenced -1.

Anyone have any thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

Jon
