Hello, GFS is comparable to ext3 performance-wise, a bit slower in some types of operation. GFS2 is a bit better than ext3. We have had no problems regarding stability with GFS (both 1 and 2). The maximum number of nodes we tried this on was 7. However, it is a bit of a hassle maintaining a HA cluster only because of a shared filesystem... but if you need the performance and other features, it is a good choice.

There will be very little file updates on a daily basis and will be mounted/shared from less than 10 servers. I would like to hear the opinion of real world production users regards to stability, performance etc. Thanks in advance.
