It would probably look something like the following. node1: is a gnbd server and exports any local ide/scsi disk over the network node2 and node3: - are gnbd clients, both importing the network block device from node1 - are gfs nodes, both sharing a gfs file system created on the imported gnbd no FC, no shared scsi, no network power switch, no lvm or clvm three machines, single ethernet network, a spare disk on one machine (node1 is equivalent to an nfs server here, but it's serving blocks instead of files) -- Dave Teigland <teigland@xxxxxxxxxx>
