["shrek-m gmx de" <shrek-m gmx de>]

hi,

kernel-2.6.16 is released, it has ocfs2 but not yet gfs.

do you expect that gfs will find the way into the kernel ?
will gfs have ppc*-support in a future release ?

in kernel 2.6.16, ppc* support

http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/gfs/
not in kernel 2.6.16, no ppc* support

<snip>

Fedora Core 5 has support for clustered storage through the Global File System
(GFS). GFS requires special kernel modules that work in conjunction with some
user-space utilities, such as management daemons. To remove such a kernel,
perhaps after an update, use the su -c 'yum remove kernel-<version>' command
instead. The yum command automatically removes dependent packages, if
necessary.

PowerPC does not support GFS

The GFS kernel modules are not built for the PowerPC architecture in Fedora
Core 5.
