Hi, You will need to make sure whether you are referring to Red Hat GFS or IBM GFPS as those are very different technologies. The following will assume Red Hat GFS. GFS does not protect against disk failure. It does, however, contribute to protecting against node failure. In order not to turn the thread into a GFS course, I'd suggest you ask precise questions and we shall formulate replies.
