scripts, refer to Configuring and Managing a Red Hat Cluster.
2. Create GFS file systems on logical volumes created in Step 1. Choose a unique name for
each file system. For more information about creating a GFS file system, refer to Section 1,
“Making a File System”.
Command usage:
gfs_mkfs -p lock_dlm -t ClusterName:FSName -j NumberJournals BlockDevice
3. At each node, mount the GFS file systems. For more information about mounting a GFS file
system, refer to Section 2, “Mounting a File System”.
Command usage:
mount -t gfs BlockDevice MountPoint
mount -t gfs -o acl BlockDevice MountPoint
The -o aclmount option allows manipulating file ACLs. If a file system is mounted without
the -o acl mount option, users are allowed to view ACLs (with getfacl), but are not allowed
to set them (with setfacl).
Note
You can use init.d scripts included with Red Hat Cluster Suite to automate
mounting and unmounting GFS file systems. For more information about
init.d scripts, refer to Configuring and Managing a Red Hat Cluster.
