Having read the (excellent) HOWTO at https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/cluster-suite/ but not even started testing GFS, I miss some information on how the nodes communicate with each-other. What protocols and ports are used?
The reason I ask is that I wonder whether GFS, together with stunnel or similar, could be used to create a SAN that's physically connected through the internet, more or less along the ideas of sfs (www.fs.net). Has anyone seen any documentation of such attempts? Is there any reason why the idea could be flawed by definition?
