I know this has been discussed before, but this feature seems to get being pushed back. Wasn't it stated at one time for inclusion into the 0.7 release? I know this is a huge problem to solve. And I believe Lars (sorry if I mis-attribute the email) wrote an email awhile back describing the type of file locking and granduarity needed to achieve this goal. Which went way over my head and I couldn't think of any simple process to achieve a solution to most of the problems. On another thread, has anybody here know how much GFS and OpenGFS merged? Are they still merge-able? Is one or the other be better to be include w/ DRBD? (I know there are better forums to ask this question, just thought I start here as here is where the integration question could be answered) Please don't take anything I say here as a critiicism, or negative statement. Currently DRBD is great at what it does. I was mostly asking questions to see if anybody could predict a timeline. I see this as a *MAJOR* feature request that a lot of people would like to see. And if there is something within my skill set where I am able to help speed up this process, I would be willing to contribute much of my own personal time (at least whatever I have ;-) ) into achieving this. Thank You Steve
