GFS is really geared towards all of the machines having access to the 
disk by fiber chanel, or some similar way, and all being able to write 
to the disk.
Not for one machine having access to the files and sharing it to all the 
others (which is more of what I picture a NFS replacement being.)

I really think the G, standing for Global, is really misleading.
