    "GFS (Global File System) is a cluster file system.. is incrementally scalable from one to hundreds of Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers, and works with all standard Linux applications."

    So is this useful for clusters (as the name implies), or will the $1000 per computer cost of RHEL prevent it from being used in any actual clusters?
