Hi Patrick,
            I'm hoping you can explain to me, and if I have the right idea 
about GFS/GNBD

I'm referring to this document http://gfs.wikidev.net/GNBD_installation for 
the purposes of config

What I'm trying to do is setup GNBD on 2 machines.. I'm wondering if its 
possible for the two mahines to cluster the data on the local hdd's rather 
than using an external storage array..

i.e machine raid0. basically replicated volumes...

Also if this IS possible, am I right in assuming if one machine goes down 
the second one will take over the primaries role...

On the client machine how do you set it to connect to the cluster?

The documentation seems to be very lacking and I'm somewhat stressed out 
from work wondering if what I'm trying to do is possible?

If you need more clarification on what I'm trying to do please ask.

Sorry if this comes across as newbish

Regards
James
