About:
The Global File System (GFS) is a 64-bit shared disk cluster file system for Linux. GFS cluster nodes physically share the same storage by means of Fibre Channel or shared SCSI devices. The file system appears to be local on each node and GFS synchronizes file access across the cluster. GFS is fully symmetric, meaning that all nodes are equal and there is no server which may be a bottleneck or single point of failure. GFS uses read and write caching while maintaining full UNIX file system semantics. GFS supports journaling, recovery from client failures, and many other features.
Release focus: Minor bugfixes
Changes:
The following bugs have been fixed: change to the sorting method for directory code that caused stack problems on some architectures, the ability to mount mulitple GFS MemExp file systems, lockups on umount in rare situations have been eliminated, flock now performs correctly when under major contention loads, time stamp modifications on truncate() have been fixed, obscure bug that caused nodes to try and STOMITH themselves has been eliminated, and a reservation bug occasionally encountered when expanding a file system has been fixed.
