Do you have central storage (FC, Shared SCSI, etc) that you are planning on sharing with GFS? From what I've read, GFS doesn't have any way of replicating data between boxes, so if you don't have shared storage, it's not useful. [I'd love to hear if this is incorrect!] If you don't have shared storage, NFS may be the simplest route. Just curious, why not use DistCC? -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500
