Then GFS is not a cluster filesystem. It is just a filesystem. It was my perception that GFS was a stand alone application. Why? Because GFS supports up to 300 nodes (found in Oracle 9i RAC and the Red Hat Global File System). And CS "only" 32 (http://www.redhat.com/cluster_suite/). Thinking about it: maybe 300 nodes mean something different.
