Hello,
I have a storage offering some 11 TB of space. I'd happily use ext3 and NFS export to 4 client machines, but 8 TB seems to be the tested maximum. I'd really like one mount point for the whole 11 TB. Since GFS offers lock_nolock option for local mounting, I'm assuming it's not so out of line to NFS export this GFS mount point.
Thoughts and inputs appreciated.

I was planning on doing this (exporting GFS over NFS) at my previous company but left before I got the chance. Red Hat sent me this document last year which seems very informative on the topic

ext3 in CentOS 5.2 supports up to 16TB volumes.
