GFS is GPLed or is freely available as far as we are concerned. We have
been running GFS volume on Fedora 10 systems for free. The thing I have
to say though is that if you desire a *stable* cluster system, I
recommend the RHEL version.
Alternatives to GFS are the Lustre FS
(http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php/Main_Page now under Oracle I
believe) and Gluster
(http://www.gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/GlusterFS).
I have played a bit with Lustre and it works but is a PAIN to setup and
administer in terms of complexity.
Oracle is promoting also OCFS ( http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs/)
geared towards large RDBMS systems.
I hope this helps

Is there any particular reason why you are searching for a GFS alternative?
(are there any issues you want to address)?

Hi,
I need to mount a volume of a storage of two servers simultaneously using
HBA.
My initial idea is to use GFS. Is there a safe alternative to cluster
filesystem ?
Thanks
