The VFS improved a lot in 2.6 over 2.4 for network and cluster filesystems,
with a few more changes to the VFS in 2.7 we may be able to achieve essentially
local file i/o semantics over non-local filesystems which we can not quite do
today.
Au contraire, GFS has already achieved that. The last of the GFS VFS patches
(beyond a trivial export or two) is in play on lkml now, the cluster flock patch,
which GFS doesn't need except to support local filesystem semantics for flock
and fcntl locks.
