The number of locks used depends on what exactly you're doing with gfs. So, the exact answer is that it depends. Roughly, each lock uses 230 bytes. Each hold on a lock uses about 80 bytes. Each request to change the state of a holder on a lock is about 130 bytes. Plus a bunch of static buffers. Most simple setups I've seen use around 64M. I've also seen setups use nearly a gig of memory too. (not common) YMMV -- Michael Conrad Tadpol Tilstra If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
