You can do either -- that is, you can mount GFS on domain-0 nodes (physical nodes) and use GFS to host file system images for the guest machines. Alternatively, you could also provide GFS to domain-Us (unprivileged/guest Xen domains). Rob Kenna wrote a Red Hat Magazine article about how to do the former, and I've done the latter. I'm not sure how many people have tried both simultaneously - that is, I don't know if GFS on the dom0 machines has been used to host a GFS image on the domU machines; when I did shared-images between domUs, it was on ext3 on a single machine (dom0s were not clustered). Maybe others could comment about their experiences. -- lon -- Lon Hohberger - Software Engineer - Red Hat, Inc. -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
