GULM is 1 option, DLM is another. I have been using lock_dlm (distributed lock manager), along with cman (Cluster manager). It ships standard with Centos, and also have it running on Gentoo. > > Is this still true? How do i correctly install GFS? Is GFS able to use > lock_dlm? Yes. Dont need a GULM server if you are using dlm though. > Does this mean that GFS is using the locking infrastructure of GFS2 > already? > > Or is Ubuntu 8.04 somehow inconsistent regarding RHCS? Centos modinfo on gfs also shows gfs2 as dependancy. locking is a seperate service from gfs, and from what I understand, both gfs and gfs2 use locking (lock_dlm). Not sure why there is this module dependancy. Have no idea why there is this depedancy though. -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
