This is the development site for several related linux clustering components.
Openais is an essential part of most of the work here; openais development and information is located at http://openais.org.
cluster3
unstable third generation code
cluster.git master branch: http://sources.redhat.com/git/?p=cluster.git;a=shortlog;h=master
- use with kernel.org releases, generally current stable release, sometimes -rc
- use with openais unstable/devel
current release: cluster-2.99.00, use with openais svn checkout (0.83 or later) and linux-2.6.git
(note: gfs requires lockproto-exports.patch to be added to linux-2.6.git)
components include:
- gfs kernel module and userspace utilities
- gfs2 userspace utilities
- dlm userspace utilities
- cman (cluster infrastructure, various pieces)
- fence (i/o fencing)
rgmanager (HA, app failover)
- gnbd kernel and userspace (network block device)

cluster2
stable second generation code
cluster.git STABLE2 branch: http://sources.redhat.com/git/?p=cluster.git;a=shortlog;h=STABLE2
- use with current kernel.org stable release

- cluster-2.03.x.tar.gz releases are made from this branch
- ideally, these tarballs will be used for distribution packages
current release: cluster-2.03.02, use with openais-0.80.3 (or later) and linux-2.6.25
