David, thanks for the reply. I've seen the post below and in fact it is
what prompted the question. Just seems like there is a lot going
underneath that I was missing. I was hoping for a more nuts and bolts
bag of information with respect to the changes being made across the
board.

This is a good start though and I'll take a look.


Thanks


Corey

For GFS2 and DLM it's largely performance improvements.  For clustering
infrastructure a ton of stuff moved out of the kernel and now runs in
user space, with openais at the center.  The user isn't exposed to much
of the infrastructure so there's not much user-visible change to speak
about.
