Hi 

It is suitable to use enbd or redhat gnbd solution with gfs2. 

cheers

Yes that would be nice, my budget is very much smaller than that.

>From what i've read so far, the best looking solution appears to be
DRDB and NFS.  With a structure similar to the following (v. bad) asci
diagram:

               -----------------         -----------------
               |   r/w node |       |   r/w  node |
                ------------------       ------------------

                                   ^
                           NFS mount
                                   v

----------------------                             ---------------------
|   DRDB node |   <- linux HA ->    |   DRDB node |
----------------------                             --------------------


Does GFS have any advantages over NFS,  or am i being ignorant to the
prupose GFS?
