[Linux-cluster] gfs on FC6 and ddraid

Hello all

A few follow-up questions have popped up after my previous problem got 
solved

1. What would be the correct way to use gfs (not gfs2) on FC6.  Binary 
installation (where do I get the rpms?) or source installation (which 
tag to check out?)

2. Since software raid is not cluster aware, ddraid seemed a much needed 
answer to storage node failure.  However, I was unable to build it.  The 
tarballs mentioned in the README are nowhere to be found and the kernel 
version on FC6 is different from those mentioned in it.  Also, the build 
fails due to not finding the file "../dm-ddraid.h".  This too is nowhere 
to be found :(.  Any pointers?

3. In absence of ddraid, is there any commercial product that can manage 
cluster-aware software raid?

Yours Sincerely
Ashish Varman
