   8           A cluster filesystem.

  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 in a cluster, you will need to enable
  19           the locking module below. Documentation and utilities for GFS2 can
  20           be found here: http://sources.redhat.com/cluster
  21
  22           The "nolock" lock module is now built in to GFS2 by default. If
  23           you want to use the DLM, be sure to enable HOTPLUG and IPv4/6
  24           networking.

  31           Multiple node locking module for GFS2
  32
  33           Most users of GFS2 will require this. It provides the locking
  34           interface between GFS2 and the DLM, which is required to use GFS2
  35           in a cluster environment.
