	  A cluster filesystem.

	  Allows a cluster of computers to simultaneously use a block device
	  that is shared between them (with FC, iSCSI, NBD, etc...).  GFS reads
	  and writes to the block device like a local filesystem, but also uses
	  a lock module to allow the computers coordinate their I/O so
	  filesystem consistency is maintained.  One of the nifty features of
	  GFS is perfect consistency -- changes made to the filesystem on one
	  machine show up immediately on all other machines in the cluster.

	  To use the GFS2 filesystem, you will need to enable one or more of
	  the below locking modules. Documentation and utilities for GFS2 can
	  be found here: http://sources.redhat.com/cluster

	  Single node locking module for GFS2.

	  Use this module if you want to use GFS2 on a single node without
	  its clustering features. You can still take advantage of the
	  large file support, and upgrade to running a full cluster later on
	  if required.

	  If you will only be using GFS2 in cluster mode, you do not need this
	  module.

	  Multiple node locking module for GFS2

	  Most users of GFS2 will require this module. It provides the locking
	  interface between GFS2 and the DLM, which is required to use GFS2
	  in a cluster environment.
