GPFS doesn't work on Linux on 390 or Z, and Lustre doesn't give you much coordination between servers (there's still individual caching going on in the servers), so it doesn't really help much. AFAIK, Sistina GFS development stopped on 390 with the RH aquisition -- we haven't seen much activity from them at all recently. OpenAFS would be an option, as would NFS. Contact me offline to discuss details. -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
