I think so, too. If I need to use truly stable GFS, I probably should select RHEL4/CentOS4 and released version of GFS. In that sense, the stability level which I need now may be a little bit lower. :) I have no reluctance to select CentOS, but currently I use FC5 and GFS1 (release 1.03.00). Updates for FC5 will soon stop, and I heard FC6 includes GFS(2) in it's kernel and packages. So, I just tried to use that GFS2 on FC6, but unfortunately it doesn't has enough stability in my environment. Thanks, Kenji
This might be bad netiquette to post on the GFS mailing list, but you might look at oracle's OCFS2. I was able to get it up and running in a single day, its in the latest 2.6.20 kernel and then you just need to download the 1.2.2 tools from their website. It was much easier to get up and running. For that matter I was never able to get GFS working or compile after 6 days. I have yet to try since stable was updated. Just another option to look at. -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
