“I will also show you how to optimize GFS2 performance
in the next HowTo, because you will quickly notice some loss of
performance until you do a little optimization first.I will 1st
show you how do build a Cluster with GFS2 on the Command Line and
in the next tutorial I will show you how to do the same thing using
Conga.

“In this tutorial I am using 3 CentOS Virtual Machines running
CentOS 5.3 in VMware ESX 3.5. For the GFS2 File System I am using a
vmdk built with the thick option, that is shared among all the
Virtual Machines. You also can use iscsi or fiber… This option is
up to you.”
