Re: [Xen-users] Shared File System
I've been looking at gfs and ocfs. It really does seem like overkill
for what I need.
I guess I could just create a domU with all my nfs shares on it.
Dedicate it just to file-sharing. That way if the nfs mounts lockup I
only have to reboot that dom rather then the entire server.

If all you need is a shared file area, then CIFS/NFS are the simpler choices.
Note that using a regular Linux server as a file server is not the greatest idea if you need this to be highly reliable. There are filer projects out there which turn a 'regular' server into a much higher end, more reliable storage server. Or of course, hardware filers.
GFS is a true shared disk file system. GFS allows all servers direct concurrent access to the shared block storage. It can get rather complex and does involve a cluster of machines so it might be overkill for what you seek, I don't know so, here's a link to it, you can decide.
