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 bugfixes
Changes:
New kernel patches for Linux 2.4.5, a new hard_panic patch, a new STOMITH method (apc_ms), initialization script updates, and a slew of updates to the man pages. The following bugs have also been addressed: undefined rscsi_disks symbol, memexp kernel thread issue, memexpd performance degradation over time, problems with HIMEM systems, pool and passamble fixes, GNBD fixes, user-space LFS enhancements, and gfs_jadd improvements.
