GFS and Locking

  • GFS is a multi-journal file system capable of providing shared storage to multiple servers.

  • It is designed to work with the cluster suite.

  • works by providing an underlying locking mechanism of either GULM or DLM

  • in a GFS file system, each node gets a dedicated journal and writes to that journal

  • no two nodes can use the same journal
