9.2.2.2 Examples of creating a representative file system

The following is an example of creating a typical GFS Shared File System.

To create a GFS Shared File System, the partition where the file system is created must be specified. In this case, all type of data as the meta-data area, the update log area, and the file data area must be created for the representative partition.

The following shows an example of creating a file system using sfcmkfs(8).

 
# sfcmkfs -o mdsnode=all,node=mikan,karin,mango /dev/sfdsk/gfs/dsk/volume1
 
Representative partition (meta-date, log and data) : /dev/sfdsk/gfs/dsk/volume1
Shared hosts  :  mikan, karin and mango
Primary MDS   :  mikan
Secondary MDS :  karin
MDS operational nodes :  mikan, karin, and mango
