features of GFS is perfect consistency -- changes made to the file system
on one machine show up immediately on all other machines in the cluster.
GFS uses interchangable inter-node locking mechanisms. Different lock
modules can plug into GFS and each file system selects the appropriate
lock module at mount time. Lock modules include:
GFS uses interchangable inter-node locking mechanisms, the currently
supported mechanisms are:
lock_nolock -- allows gfs to be used as a local file system
lock_dlm -- uses a distributed lock manager (dlm) for inter-node locking
The dlm is found at linux/fs/dlm/
In addition to interfacing with an external locking manager, a gfs lock
module is responsible for interacting with external cluster management
systems. Lock_dlm depends on user space cluster management systems found

GFS2 is not on-disk compatible with previous versions of GFS.
If you are using Fedora, you need to install the gfs2-utils package
and, for lock_dlm, you will also need to install the cman package
and write a cluster.conf as per the documentation.
GFS2 is not on-disk compatible with previous versions of GFS, but it
