- Fedora Core 6 test2 has support for clustered storage through the
- Global File System (GFS). GFS requires special kernel modules that
- work in conjunction with some user-space utilities, such as
- management daemons. To remove such a kernel, perhaps after an
- update, use the <command>su -c 'yum remove

- command instead. The <command>yum</command> command automatically
- removes dependent packages, if necessary.
