GFS cluster filesystem re-released

Hi,

I'd like to announce that Red Hat has re-released the GFS cluster filesystem and its related infrastructure under the GPL. The different projects that make up the infrastructure are:

GFS - shared-disk cluster file system
CLVM - clustering extensions to the LVM2 logical volume manager toolset CMAN - general-purpose symmetric cluster manager
DLM - general-purpose distributed lock manager
CCS - cluster configuration system to manage the cluster config file GULM - alternative redundant server-based lock/cluster manager for GFS GNBD - network block device driver shares storage over a network Fence - I/O fencing system

The source code and patches for 2.6 are available at
http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/. 2.4 source should show up early tomorrow.

We're looking for people help us work on this project so we can eventually get it included into the Linux kernel. Comments, suggestions, patches, and testers are more than welcome.

Thanks.

Hmm.
I heard of the "Google File System" some time ago on slashdot, it was also some kind of cluster fs. Could GFS be the Google FS, or is this an another thing?

It's something completely different.
