hi all,

my setup is a cluster of 6 physical machines connected with qlogic HBA to a SAN.

Now i can run several xen virtual machines but i need to read from the same partition with a high I/O rate (my application doesn't need to write a lot).

Hence my question is, do i need a gfs cluster on the physical nodes and export with gndb for network mounting on xen machines (which seems to be slow, cause i'm using network in this way), or is there a way to insert the xen nodes in the gfs cluster too (in this way i should use kernel to directly access gfs/gfs2 partition)?

tnx
