CentOS - May 2007 - GFS on 4.4 vs. C5

I am doing research on getting an operational GFS setup on 3 servers I 
have centos 4.4/64 built on.  I can of course upgrade the to 4.5, but is 
it smarter to try centos 5 for this or can I get away with getting this 
working on 4.4/4.5?  (basically trying to eliminate the need to visit 
the colo.)

Hi Karl,
unfortunately, cluster suite support is broken in 4.4 and 4.5, at least 
if you upgrade beyond release 4.4 with kernel 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL . With 
2.6.9-42.0.3.EL, it works fine.

Since nobody seems to care about those packages, go for CentOS 5 with GFS2.
