Yes. Though I do reserve the right to find this highly silly, that we might end up with multiple hooks for clustering infrastructure in the kernel...
So, how does OpenGFS/GFS achieve the communication? How does it interact with the infrastructure (which, I infere from your above comments, is meant to reside in user-space)?
