I've spent better part of the last day to read documentation on gfs2 on redhat's site. My god, that's pretty much what I'm looking for... To the point that I'll probably be ordering a pair of intel 1u rack servers, 2 lsi fibre channel card and a fiber switch to begin experimenting with this... The documentation is very technichal, I'm ok with that, but it seems to miss some starting point. For instance, there's a part about the required number of journal to create and the size of those. But I cannot find suggested size or any thumb-rule for those... That made my day ;-)
