Hi Guys,

I have two mail servers and I want them to use gfs to share some storage device.. I don't want to buy a storage device but I have a spare server that maybe could be used. Anybody here use gfs without a proper san? Say just somehow using a server running linux? Or anybody have any thoughts?

If your storage isn't HA anyway, just use NFS. Should be much simpler to setup.

I was looking this for a while and couldn't find any decent documentation on how to do GFS "on the cheap". I ended up just using NFS for my simple two-node web farm. The ultramonkey.org packages make it super easy.
