[Linux-cluster] Re: rsync via GFS

[Dmitriy MiksIr]

Great hint's for tune, thanks. But it's help not much - too many files 
(it's full tree of system with /usr /var etc). May be try to use some 
filesystem-in-file (put to gfs shared storage file and init some 
filesystem inside)? Is anyone try something like this?
