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: Major feature enhancements
Changes:
Support for Linux 2.4.4, addition of Lock Value Blocks (LVBs) for performance enhancement, updated flock and fcntl support, a rewrite of the Pool tools for enhanced functionality, performance improvements when GFS is used as a local vs. cluster FS, a fix for an atime bug, improved df performance, and new STOMITH methods. There are incompatibilities in the GFS modules between 4.0.1 and 4.1; please read the Release Notes on how to upgrade.
