Hi, I installed gfs and all the cluster stuff on our systems and I didn't have the impression that I missed any of the steps in the manual. So I have to nodes which both have a gfs partition mounted. I can also mount these, if I exported them with gnbd. But I don't see the big difference to nfs yet (apart from maybe performance). I thought that if I name the gfs-partitions the same (clustername:gfs1) they would be magically merged or something like that. I thought this was meant by the notion in the docs that GFS does not have a single point of failure. Or that we could have redundant file-servers. What did I get wrong about all that? P.S.: I did the changes to /etc/lvm/lvm.conf regarding the locking (locking_type=2).
