| 8 | A cluster filesystem. | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | Allows a cluster of computers to simultaneously use a block device | ||
| 11 | that is shared between them (with FC, iSCSI, NBD, etc...). GFS reads | ||
| 12 | and writes to the block device like a local filesystem, but also uses | ||
| 13 | a lock module to allow the computers coordinate their I/O so | ||
| 14 | filesystem consistency is maintained. One of the nifty features of | ||
| 15 | GFS is perfect consistency -- changes made to the filesystem on one | ||
| 16 | machine show up immediately on all other machines in the cluster. | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | To use the GFS2 filesystem, you will need to enable one or more of | ||
| 19 | the below locking modules. Documentation and utilities for GFS2 can | ||
| 20 | be found here: http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/gfs/ | ||

| 26 | Single node locking module for GFS2. | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | Use this module if you want to use GFS2 on a single node without | ||
| 29 | its clustering features. You can still take advantage of the | ||
| 30 | large file support, and upgrade to running a full cluster later on | ||
| 31 | if required. | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | If you will only be using GFS2 in cluster mode, you do not need this | ||
| 34 | module. | ||

| 43 | Most users of GFS2 will require this module. It provides the locking | ||
| 44 | interface between GFS2 and the DLM, which is required to use GFS2 | ||
| 45 | in a cluster environment. | ||
