This patch adds a new structure called gfs2_log_header_v2 which is used to store expanded fields into previously unused areas of the log headers (i.e., this change is backwards compatible). Some of these are used for debug purposes so we can backtrack when problems occur. Others are reserved for future expansion. This patch is based on a prototype from Steve Whitehouse.

A cluster filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Allows a cluster of computers to simultaneously use a block device
|
|
that is shared between them (with FC, iSCSI, NBD, etc...). GFS reads
|
|
and writes to the block device like a local filesystem, but also uses
|
|
a lock module to allow the computers coordinate their I/O so
|
|
filesystem consistency is maintained. One of the nifty features of
|
|
GFS is perfect consistency -- changes made to the filesystem on one
|
|
machine show up immediately on all other machines in the cluster.
|
|
|
|
To use the GFS2 filesystem in a cluster, you will need to enable
|
|
the locking module below. Documentation and utilities for GFS2 can
|
|
be found here: http://sources.redhat.com/cluster
|
|
|
|
The "nolock" lock module is now built in to GFS2 by default. If
|
|
you want to use the DLM, be sure to enable IPv4/6 networking.

Multiple node locking module for GFS2
|
|
|
|
Most users of GFS2 will require this. It provides the locking
|
|
interface between GFS2 and the DLM, which is required to use GFS2
|
|
in a cluster environment.
