Hello All,

I am getting some problems understanding the actual
idea behind Cluster File System implementation. From
one website 
http://www.stalker.com/notes/SFS.html#CFS
I got the idea that a cluster file system is a wrapper
file system. Since this cluster file system is a
wrapper file system or in other words this wrapper fs
will direct the requests to an actual fs like ext3
(the stacking concept), so we don't need a format
utility for this cluster file system which is actually
a wrapper fs and not an actual fs.

On the other hand OpenGFS 
http://opengfs.sourceforge.net/
which is also a cluster file system has its own format
utility and disk layout.

Now what is exactly the definition of a cluster file
system. I need some help understading the differences.

Thanks,
Uzair Lakhani,
Karachi, Pakistan.
