How is its performance?

GFS comes as part of RHEL/CentOS base, so nothing special needs to be done
to work with it.

We tested it on a Fiber-Channel  EMC SAN device, compared it to plain ext3
and xfs (yes we know that GFS is the only clustered one) and found that the
performance hit too high to ignore.

We ended up going back to ext3 and making sure only one guest mounts the
filesystem at a time (that's what we need for our application anyway).
