CLVM snapshots do not work with GFS, sorry. Maybe sometime in the future.
However, this should be possible:
node1 node2 node3 (FC3)
GFS GFS GFS
GNBD GNBD GNBD <-- gnbd_import -n
| | |
+------+------+

GNBD <-- gnbd_serv -n / gnbd_export -c
LV <-- LVM2
node0 (file server: FC3)
In this case you should run:
node1-3# gfs_tool freeze /mnt/gfs
node0# lvcreate -s -n lv0ss0 ...
node1-3# gfs_tool unfreeze /mnt/gfs
node0# gnbd_export -c -d lv0ss0 -n nbd0ss0
node1# gnbd_import -n -i node0
node1# mount -t gfs -o ro,lockproto=lock_nolock /dev/gnbd/nbd0ss0
I've not tried this myself, but I don't think there's anything wrong with
it in principle.
