Hi Lars,

I presume you meant "DFS". I can't comment on the details of the plan for GFS
just now, however consider OpenGFS: yes, it needs and has a cluster
infrastructure. The kernel does not dictate anything about that
infrastructure. Each DFS is free to implement its own infrastructure,
possibly involving kernel extensions.
