OpenGFS is essentially dead. Now that Red Hat's GFS is opened (back) up, all 
the development is going on there instead.

The open source RH GFS for 2.6 kernels is not what I'd characterize as ready
for production use. For a production environment that you care enough about
to cluster and for which you need the sorts of stuff GFS provides, I'd
recommend going with the commercial GFS for 2.4 kernels....
