Of course, RHCS does offer GFS as the cluster filesystem, if that's what you really need! Another option is GPFS from IBM, free as in beer. It really is a state of the art cluster filesystem and well worth the effort to look into if you are in the market for a cluster FS. -- //Morten Torstensen //Email: morten@mortent.org //IM: Cartoon@jabber.no morten.torstensen@gmail.com And if it turns out that there is a God, I don't believe that he is evil.
