and it still isn't.  i tried to slapshot a gfs2 volume and it refused, 
which makes tar'ing a gfs2 directory - without getting "source volume 
changed during processing" messages - impossible, at least in my setup 
(RHEL/Centos 5.5, five-way clustah).

so i created xfs filesystems, rsync the gfs2 -> xfs stuff hourly, and 
backup from the xfs.  it's "not-really-wonderful" but works fine.
