Hi Gordan, thanks for answer.

But, if it is "possible" to be solved (as it was with GFS1) why is it not
feasible to GFS2?

Well, no problem at al to migrate to GFS1, actually I've already thinked
about it, but all those gfs1 tunning options and tests makes me a bit
apprehensive.

I'll wait a bit more for GFS2 community, if they say that it can't be done I
go to GFS1 or even ocfs2 (what is the third option, as I've already a RHCS
structure with clvmd).
