Also, two more questions:
1) What about putting this NFS cluster in VMware?
2) I am assuming this would have to be an active-standby model since
only 1 host can "own" the disk in read/write, correct?
No, the whole point of GFS is that you can have multiple nodes mounting
and using the same volume r/w at the same time.
OK, that makes sense. My other question is what other filesystems
does Red Hat support that can be used in this fashion? PVFS, OCFS,
etc. ?
By and large, none. GFS is fairly unique in the way it does things. The
rest of the world hasn't really caught up yet. ;-)
I'm not sure why OCFS keeps coming up, since it's not a normal, general
purpose file system. It's only useful for putting Oracle DB volumes on it.
