[Linux-cluster] gfs2 performance

[eric johnson]

Hi Ozgur -

It would be interesting to hear you elaborate on the domain of problems you
were hoping to have GFS2 solve and then how you ultimately tackled them
with just EXT3.

I'm certainly not saying that one can't solve them with EXT3 - just curious
to see the approach.
