[NCLUG] help finding documentation for unique cluster setup

[Mike Jensen]

oh......so GFS is not what I want....If GFS can't do what I want do you have
a recomendation on a filesystem that would be a good option for what I am
wanting to do?  I was thinking maybe AFS, CODA, or Lustre.  What do you
think would be the easiest for my goals?  So far these distributed
filesystems seem to be, by far, the worse documented aspect of linux I have
run into.  Is there any good words I should use in searching?  I have been
using the filesystem name with things like 'tutorial' or '"how to"' etc.
Thanks again for your continued support :-)
