  	  Allows a cluster of computers to simultaneously use a block device
  	  that is shared between them (with FC, iSCSI, NBD, etc...).  GFS reads
  	  and writes to the block device like a local filesystem, but also uses
  	  a lock module to allow the computers coordinate their I/O so
  	  filesystem consistency is maintained.  One of the nifty features of
  	  GFS is perfect consistency -- changes made to the filesystem on one
  	  machine show up immediately on all other machines in the cluster.
