[Linux-cluster] Questions about GFS

[Bowie Bailey]

Also, keep in mind that the number of nodes is limited by the number
of journals on your GFS filesystem.  So when you create the
filesystem, you should add a few extra journals to accommodate
expansion.  If you run out, you have to add disks to the GFS in order
to create more journals.
