However, I do not know if anyone has packaged it for Slackware.

What about other shared file > systems such as InterMezzo or Coda? These are distributed/disconnected file systems which solve a different paradigm, and they require a server (or replicated servers). GFS (6.1) does not require a server - for locks or data. There is a distributed lock manager for managing internal metadata and POSIX locks, and all clients have direct access to the SAN storage. -- Lon -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
