[Linux-cluster] Making gfs-deploy-tool dist agnostic (somewhat)

[Sebastian Walter]

Hi Christopher,

I don't want to evangelize anyone, but maybe you should have a look at 
the rocks cluster distribution. Its a wrap-around of any RHEL4 
compatible distribution (CentOS, FC, RHEL), which does the deployment 
job for you. I'm at the moment rolling out a 48 core cluster with a 
timeframe of 1 month, and it's really taking a lot off the shoulders, 
altough it's still short in time. My setup is FC SAN, GFS and automatic 
deployment, and I'm currently writing on a howto for that setup (in case 
you're interested).

Regards,
Sebastian
