at GFS came across this.

To be upfront, I my dist of choice doesn't use an rpm based binary
package system. Is there or would there be any objection to add in
the ability for other backends.. eg.. debs? My timeframe is about 30
days to take a poke at this so I'm in no rush. Any feedback is
appreciated.
Hi Christopher,
I don't want to evangelize anyone, but maybe you should have a look at
the rocks cluster distribution. Its a wrap-around of any RHEL4
compatible distribution (CentOS, FC, RHEL), which does the deployment
job for you. I'm at the moment rolling out a 48 core cluster with a
timeframe of 1 month, and it's really taking a lot off the shoulders,
altough it's still short in time. My setup is FC SAN, GFS and
automatic deployment, and I'm currently writing on a howto for that
setup (in case you're interested).

I sincerely appreciate you pointing me in this direction. I'm quite
interested in any documentation you can point me at as I'm always up for
learning/reading more. In this case there's no reason to change dist..
I'll patch gfs-deploy and either locally maintain the patches or
hopefully get them accepted upstream. I didn't realize this was a RH
and friends only project.
Thanks
C.
