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. :)
Hi Brandon and Kenji,
Just a few days ago I posted a patch to the STABLE branch of CVS to bring
GFS v1 up to the latest upstream 2.6.20-rc7 kernel. That's bleeding edge,
not "older software with old kernels". We've got GFS1 for RHEL5 too.
GFS v1 will be around for a long time, and on the latest kernels.
Since GFS2 was accepted into the upstream kernel, we are also working
to get that stabilized. I expect that people will naturally migrate
from GFS v1
to GFS2 over time as it eventually makes GFS v1 obsolete, as ext3 did to
ext2.
