10 A cluster filesystem.
11
12 Allows a cluster of computers to simultaneously use a block device
13 that is shared between them (with FC, iSCSI, NBD, etc...). GFS reads
14 and writes to the block device like a local filesystem, but also uses
15 a lock module to allow the computers coordinate their I/O so
16 filesystem consistency is maintained. One of the nifty features of
17 GFS is perfect consistency -- changes made to the filesystem on one
18 machine show up immediately on all other machines in the cluster.

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

35 interface between GFS2 and the DLM, which is required to use GFS2
