This thread actually begs the question: what's the status of getting GFS integrated into the upstream kernel? I thought that was one of the stated goals when Red Hat acquired Sistina. Is that discussion happening in the kernel list? I thought I read somewhere that the inclusion of "a" cluster filesystem was discussed at the recent OSDL Linux Summit. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.
