The GFS filesystem format is identical from RHEL3 to RHEL4.
If you want to switch from GULM to DLM (a wise move), do this:

gfs_tool sb <your device> proto lock_dlm

For example:

[root@trin-12 ~]# gfs_tool sb /dev/bobs_vg/lvol0 proto lock_dlm

I'm sure other people would be willing to share their stories.
