I too moved filesystems over to GFS for the purpose of NFS and Samba file sharing and have since moved them all back to ext3. I didn't even have a heavy load but I could consistently lock up Samba and GFS. I now only use GFS for stuff needing to be common between the machines and for Vmware images where I can failover vmware machines between cluster nodes. NFS by itself behaves OK but samba on GFS sucks. Robert -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
