6 | A cluster filesystem. | ||
7 | |||
8 | Allows a cluster of computers to simultaneously use a block device | ||
9 | that is shared between them (with FC, iSCSI, NBD, etc...). GFS reads | ||
10 | and writes to the block device like a local filesystem, but also uses | ||
11 | a lock module to allow the computers coordinate their I/O so | ||
12 | filesystem consistency is maintained. One of the nifty features of | ||
13 | GFS is perfect consistency -- changes made to the filesystem on one | ||
14 | machine show up immediately on all other machines in the cluster. | ||
15 | |||
16 | To use the GFS2 filesystem, you will need to enable one or more of | ||
17 | the below locking modules. Documentation and utilities for GFS2 can | ||
18 | be found here: http://sources.redhat.com/cluster | ||

24 | Single node locking module for GFS2. | ||
25 | |||
26 | Use this module if you want to use GFS2 on a single node without | ||
27 | its clustering features. You can still take advantage of the | ||
28 | large file support, and upgrade to running a full cluster later on | ||
29 | if required. | ||
30 | |||
31 | If you will only be using GFS2 in cluster mode, you do not need this | ||
32 | module. | ||

39 | Multiple node locking module for GFS2 | ||
40 | |||
41 | Most users of GFS2 will require this module. It provides the locking | ||
42 | interface between GFS2 and the DLM, which is required to use GFS2 | ||
43 | in a cluster environment. | ||
