GFS reads 14 and writes to the block device like a local filesystem, but also uses 15 a lock module to allow the computers coordinate their I/O so 16 filesystem consistency is maintained. One of the nifty features of 17 GFS is perfect consistency -- changes made to the filesystem on one 18 machine show up immediately on all other machines in the cluster. 19 20 To use the GFS2 filesystem in a cluster, you will need to enable 21 the locking module below. Documentation and utilities for GFS2 can 22 be found here: http://sources.redhat.com/cluster 23 24 The "nolock" lock module is now built in to GFS2 by default. If 25 you want to use the DLM, be sure to enable IPv4/6 networking. 26 27config GFS2_FS_LOCKING_DLM 28 bool "GFS2 DLM locking" 29 depends on (GFS2_FS!=n) && NET && INET && (IPV6 || IPV6=n) && \ 30 CONFIGFS_FS && SYSFS && (DLM=y || DLM=GFS2_FS) 31 help 32 Multiple node locking module for GFS2 33 34 Most users of GFS2 will require this.
