Hi list.

I have the setup illustrated below. The app (application xen) servers
will have live migration between them, and at any given time there can
be added new app servers and more storage on the same storage server. I
have exported the block devices from the shared storage with nbd.

---------  ---------
| app 1 |  | app 2 |
---------  ---------
     \        /

I have a lot of troble to get the GFS to work on xenified kernel 2.6.16.
Whereas I have no problem patching the xenified kernel with the evms
patches. I haven't tryed booting the kernel yet but it compiled fine.

Regarding patching you might want to go with ocfs2 instead of GFS
since it is already in kernel 2.6.16.

I have tried that at it worked fine, but the problem is that apt-get in debian uses mmap and ocfs2 does not support that. So I am affried that that is not an option.
