I think that the major difference between sheepdog and cluster file

note that GFS is "Global File System" (written by Sistina (the same
folks from LVM) and bought by RedHat). Google Filesystem is a
different thing, and ironically the client/storage interface is a
little more like sheepdog and unlike a regular cluster filesystem.
Hmm, Avi referred to Global File System? I wasn't sure. 'GFS' is
ambiguous. Anyway, Global File System is a SAN file system. It's
a completely different architecture from Sheepdog.
I did, and yes, it is completely different since you don't require
central storage.
