[Linux-cluster] Using GFS2 to store vmware disk files

Hi all,

  I have installed one host with rhel5.2 and vmware server 2.0 rc1. I stored 
vmdk files on a GFS2 partition with these params on /etc/fstab: 
rw,_netdev,noatime,noexec,nodev,nosuid. But performance is really really poor 
compared with ocfs2 for example or ext3 ...

  Somebody knows how can I increase GFS2 performance filesystem to store a lot 
of 2 GB vmdk files??

Many thanks.
