I have completed building this for WBEL. You can download files here:
GFS Downloads
See the RedHat Documentation on GFS for how to install.
The RPM files I have provided will only install on the 2.4.21-15.0.3.EL
kernel.
The src.rpm file will build on either the WBEL (or RHEL) 2.4.21-15.EL,
2.4.21-15.0.2.EL, or 2.4.21-15.0.3.EL (or any other clone where the
kernel name is exactly the same). It will _not_ build on TaoLinux or
CentOS because the Kernel names have been modified. I will make
TaoLinux and CentOS source RPMs later today.
If you are downloading rpms for install ... you need a GFS and
GFS-modules for your kernel type (normal, smp, hugemem) and your arch
(i386, i686, athlon).

RHGFS binaries ($2200) require RHEL 3.0 and 2.4.21-15.EL kernel. Red Hat
doesn't support GFS on Fedora. Lineox has built GFS binaries for
2.4.21-15.0.2.EL and 2.4.21-15.0.3.EL kernels.</PRE>

For anyone interested in building / trying GFS, you can get the SRPMS from here:<BR>

I am looking at it right now, and trying to build the SRPMS ... I'll post how it goes later. (I'm sure it's also on the redhat mirrors)</I></FONT>
