Ahh but is opengfs ready for production? I haven't heard of success stories as of late. Even their website lists no one in the "People Using OpenGFS" section... What is nice is that the project is alive with 2 full time developers. That plus the fact that RedHat just bought Sistina which originally developed gfs (and then closed the source) Will redhat re-open the source code? -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
