[Linux-cluster] device-mapper-multipath package

[isplist at logicore.net]

Ok, I see, these are utilities installed on each machine which needs a fail 
over mechanism. Although, there is mention of kernels so am nervous about 
having to start messing with kernels with custom needs for GFS and this.

Have not read it all yet but I'm assuming it allows one to add storage devices 
later, etc.
