Ok I emptied the gfs and gfsns dirs on both servers (they had existing
files/dirs from a different gfs setup i was testing).

Now I can create files and dirs.

Now I am wondering about speed. I have a 82 megabyte tarball with 337 files.
address@hidden gfstest]# time tar xf yoda.tar
real    0m22.567s
user    0m0.042s
sys     0m0.357s

Now i changed to a dir on server2 that i have mounted over nfs
address@hidden nfstest]# time tar xf yoda.tar
real    0m4.956s
user    0m0.030s
sys     0m0.827s

Do I have some performance translators configured wrong or in the
wrong place or is that really the speed I should be expecting?

Server 1 is a 8 sata2 raid (8 seagate 250g es drives)
Server 2 is a 16 scsi 160 raid
