There isn't very much in the way of current GNBD documentation https://open.datacore.ch/DCwiki.open/Wiki.jsp?page=GFS https://open.datacore.ch/DCwiki.open/Wiki.jsp?page=GFS.GNBD.Usage has the most current info Otherwise, there are the man pages, which I haven't got around to updating yet, but are still mostly accurate. Oh, and http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/admin-guide/ This is the old administrator's guide, but again, it's mostly uptodate. As soon as I finish up some coding that needs to get done, I will set to work on some documentation. If this isn't enough, I'd be glad to answer any questions you have, either via email, or via IRC (#linux-cluster on freenode) Good luck. -Ben Marzinski bmarzins@xxxxxxxxxx > thanks > -Guochun > > -- > > Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
