We have 5 cluster machines connected to a single storage with fibre channel
scsi controllers. GFS allows us to access the same filesystem from every
single machine. That was our starting point. We set up AFS on top of GFS to
get a caching filesystem for our client machines. Two server machines should
work as *clustered* AFS servers. They should have the same setup and access
the same vice partitions and they should be accessed through one single
(cluster)ip address. This was our intention but unfortunately we failed with
the first machine setup.
