1 Global File System
2 ------------------
6 GFS is a cluster file system. It allows a cluster of computers to
9 file system, but also uses a lock module to allow the computers coordinate
10 their I/O so file system consistency is maintained.  One of the nifty
11 features of GFS is perfect consistency -- changes made to the file system
12 on one machine show up immediately on all other machines in the cluster.
14 GFS uses interchangeable inter-node locking mechanisms, the currently
17   lock_nolock -- allows gfs to be used as a local file system
19   lock_dlm -- uses a distributed lock manager (dlm) for inter-node locking
22 Lock_dlm depends on user space cluster management systems found
25 To use gfs as a local file system, no external clustering systems are
28   $ mkfs -t gfs2 -p lock_nolock -j 1 /dev/block_device
29   $ mount -t gfs2 /dev/block_device /dir
31 If you are using Fedora, you need to install the gfs2-utils package
36 GFS2 is not on-disk compatible with previous versions of GFS, but it
44   gfs2_convert	to convert a gfs filesystem to gfs2 in-place
