It can't be used for bringing up GFS (chicken/egg), but for permissions on the file system and such, it looks pretty good. What's neat is that you don't need centralized management server(s) :) > I am pretty sure some of them (like PAtch 1) should be accepted right > away given they fix what could be a bug and reduce your delta in time. 0005 looks like it statically defines /etc/cluster_rootdir, but I am probably reading the patch incorrectly. I don't know PAM well enough to answer this question, so I need to ask it anyway: * Is there a way to make the root directory configurable, or are admins expected to link /etc/cluster_rootdir to /gfs/system (or whatever they choose)? Side note: I wonder if it would get accepted in a distribution ... that would be neat. Since it doesn't actually require cluster software itself (just a shared file system), then it shouldn't be that hard... in theory :/ -- Lon
