Not true.  OpenAFS is completely and totally supported on SLES 10 with or 
without SP1. All versions of SLES, in fact. I ought to know, I pay most of the 
people who work on it...8-)

You may want EVMS because the ocfs2 command syntax is so bloody ugly. EVMS puts 
a nicer face on it.

GPFS has some scalability problems, although if  you're looking at cluster file 
systems like GPFS, you ought to look at Lustre too.

Another reason to look at AFS. The Windows client is quite good, and the 
servers work very well on System Z.
