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. | ||

41 | Multiple node locking module for GFS2 | ||
42 | |||
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. | ||
